I thinking of setting up a new SmartOS box used a RAID10 type config for my zpool. Typically I use raidz{2-3}.

I'm wondering if I'd run into trouble if I did 8x1TB drives setup as stripped mirrors (4x2TB mirrors)

Don't you mean 4x1TB mirrors?

and then added a 1x4TB mirror (2 x 2TB drives). Ultimately; I want to replace the 1TB drives with 2TB drives, but the current drives are RE4 drives and still have quite a bit of life in them.

To keep you data balanced, why don't you mirror each of the 2TB drive with one of the 1TB drives and have a 5x1TB mirrors?
