As someone else mentioned, yes. However, when compared to Veritas or
<insert data management product> does that match up? This could easily
rathole into a "when will ZFS read email" discussion but it is something
that should probably be thought about in the context of ZFS as a
standalone entity and also in a larger system level perspective.

Since ZFS now interacts with FMA and SMF, the goal should be to
intergrate page/email actions into SMF, I heard it was being worked
on. When its done we can get emails not just when ZFS has problems but
when ever any hardware or software in the system has problems. This is
the primary goal monitoring zpool is just a stop gap measure till when
SMF has the needed functionality.
