I see this is marked "SOLVED", but there really isn't any problem, so I hope it's OK to post here:
Would it make sense to run ZFS on this setup?
CPU Type Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU J1900 @ 1.99GHz
Current: 1826 MHz, Max: 1993 MHz
4 CPUs: 1 package(s) x 4 core(s)
AES-NI CPU Crypto: No
Memory usage 26% of 3960 MiB
SWAP usage
0% of 8191 MiB
Disk usage:
/
85% of 101GiB - ufs
/var/run
6% of 3.4MiB - ufs in RAM

In a Desktop setup, what's the overhead on ZFS like compared to EXT4? I've got a linux Mint system that I use for much of my day-to-day that I need to rebuild-I have a 128GB SSD for boot/system and 2 1TB that are currently using the mdam RAID - I'd love to ZFS those drives to RAIDZ1.
Do you backup to FreeNAS, or removable USBs?
I'd like to have a backup setup that snaps the system (and all the dot files with program configurations) - but omits most of the user data, and then a separate backup for user data. The root of the home directory is such a mish-mash that I haven't figured out how to separate it.
I was thinking about switching to ZFS, I'd really love to be able to roll back an update if I don't like it. What is the resource usage like?pfSense 2.4 ships with ZFS now! Is anyone else running this?
I just installed it on my J1800 board with dual Intel 24GB SLC mSata drives... been going a few days, seems to work great!

All that said, I would not worry too much about using BTRFS. Just be aware of it's worts, moles and pimples. (ZFS has it's own share of such, it's just 8 or more years older.)
