I'm curious. What do you see as the advantage of this layout?
- because I can (I was at vBSDCon and had the time to do this)
ZFS pools can be made up of iscsi devices, you could potentially make

Incremental backup is useless without the preceding full and all
incrementals in between. So I am not sure how you intend to do that
second bit.
Other than that you probably want to read

I don't quite understand. It will take twice the disk space whether

It is not that hard to migrate legacy backups if you use a backup rotation
