OP is not suggesting ZFS above all else.

> And every enterprise system has already moved way past what ZFS can do, including enterprise-class offerings based on ZFS from Sun, Nexenta, and iXsystems.

However, OP is naturally suggesting ZFS over NTFS, HFS+, ext3/4 and even ReFS and APFS.

> Still, ZFS is way better than legacy storage SOHO filesystems. The lack of integrity checking, redundancy, and error recovery makes NTFS (Windows), HFS+ (macOS), and ext3/4 (Linux) wholly inappropriate for use as a long-term storage platform. And even ReFS and APFS, lacking data integrity checking, aren’t appropriate where data loss cannot be tolerated.

Interesting. I'd like to know what the "enterprise" has moved on to from ZFS.

Enterprise Storage == Real Storage Arrays

Basically every storage array is years beyond ZFS in terms of features and capabilities. Even the ones based on ZFS! And I don't think anyone would argue that. After all, Dell EMC, HPE, Pure Storage, HDS, etc spend many millions a year developing advanced storage technologies.
