Well, it's still open source, but we have top cope with a delay in terms of the latest and greatest code. So there is nothing to worry about, at least in the near future.
It's production ready now. All of the important features were designed into it at birth, anyway. The most important for me (and anyone who has had to deal with silent data corruption) is the ability to verify that every thing is as it was and is supposed to be, and the redundancy to repair it.
However, having used it I also love the way it just throws out all the rigmarole that goes with other filesystems. E.g. I want to clone a filesystem. With zfs it's just zfs send and receive, which also confirms that the data written is the data read. Irrespective of the size of the destination pool. I don't have to worry about partition sizes, disk sizes, expanding partitions or any of that nonsense. ZFS is a thing of beauty.
