Checking with iostat, I noticed the average wait time to be between 40ms and 50ms for all disks. Which doesn't seem too bad.

Actually, this is quite high. I would not expect such long wait times except for when under extreme load such as a benchmark. If the wait times are this long under normal use, then there is something wrong.

However I did have CPU spikes at 100% where the kernel was taking all cpu time.

I have reduced my zfs_arc_max parameter as it seemed the applications were struggling for RAM and things are looking better now

Odd. What type of applications are you running on this system? Are applications running on the server competing with client accesses?
