There are multiple scenarios there ZFS may be sub-optimal at least: small i386

That may well be the case, but our defaults should represent the
configuration that's desirable to the largest set of users, and IMO
that's ZFS in most cases today.
There is also the policy of not making copyleft code mandatory
(technically, CDDL is weak copyleft).
If ZFS is disabled in the build, the installer should gracefully disable
it too.
It might be that we should default to UFS on i386 and ZFS on amd64?
FWIW, I still use ZFS for root, because of the older MBR and the need to
multiboot.
