That would totally depend on your data sets and expectations. If you're
doing a LOT of random inserts/updates/deletes, etc then you would have
to tune the hell out of ZFS along with right caching layers in place.
Same could be said of reads, but if you have a TON of memory in the
server that's greatly mitigated and work well.

If you're looking to warehouse big blobs of data or lots of archive and
reporting; then by all means ZFS is a great choice.

ZFS certainly can provide higher levels of growth and resiliency vs
ext4/xfs.
