Pretty sure not. I'm receptive to ZFS and have used it in a few projects.
Openwrt tends to focus on (devices with) smaller flash drives. Other FS better
suited to such env.
No ZFS is in available software packages today, in any case.

Has anyone tried to package ZFS (more correctly, OpenZFS) for OpenWRT? Is
there any interest in doing so?

you could always run openwrt as a vm under a hypervisor, for example proxmox.
then you can keep openwrt without any extra packages like zfs and create extra
vms as needed, proxmox already supports zfs if im not mistaken.
if your lucky with the iommu groups you might even be able to pass thru one or
more physical network interfaces to the openwrt vm directly.
I can't assume that the underlying hardware supports virtualization or does so
in a meaningful way. Some of the platforms I'm looking at are resource lean.
I threw out the Xeon-D as an example as my prototyping hardware, but I'm not
going to assume that everyone has comparable hardware.
ZFS is anything *but* resource lean, though.
in my experience, most regular computers (not counting home broadband "routers"
with tiny flash and cpu) do support virtualization.
even my old gen 6 intel cpu works fine and likely some older gen cpus work too.
you don't really need to forward a physical network card (which would require
some better hardware), a set of virtual nics provided by the hypervisor will
work most of the time, yes the thru-put may be lower but if the bandwidth
requirement is not gbit speeds then it probably works fine anyway.
BUT, there is reason for having your router on a separate box.
having your main router as a vm with other vms on the same box can create some
interesting startup dependencies.
but most regular computers, even old ones, have plenty of resources left for
other things than just openwrt.
