If the pool has an _active_ (and not "read-only compatible") feature
that GRUB does not understand, then GRUB will (correctly) refuse to load
the pool. Accordingly, you will be unable to boot.

Some features go active immediately, and others need you to enable some
filesystem-level feature or take some other action to go from enabled to
active. The features that are left disabled in the upstream Root-on-ZFS
HOWTO (that I manage) are disabled because GRUB does not support them.
At best, you never use them and it's fine. At worst, you make one active
and then you can't boot. Since you can't use them without breaking
booting, there is no point in having them enabled.
