I have some evidences that potentially we have even more serious trouble
with ZFS on Ubuntu Noble 6.8 kernel.

Some time ago LXD team has got a report about LXCFS processes crashes:
https://github.com/lxc/lxcfs/issues/644

After spending really a lot of time checking everything from our side
(in LXCFS) I started to have a feeling that problem can be with the
kernel (memory corruption).

Issue reported was using all standard Ubuntu Noble packages - ZFS from
Noble and kernel from Noble. Also LXD v5.21.1 LTS snap.

I've instructed him to try an upstream version of ZFS module with the same 
kernel (no luck there).
Then, I've instructed user to try an recent upstream Linux kernel version 
(same, no luck).

Then user downgraded to 6.6.x series kernel + upstream recent ZFS. And
LXCFS stopped crashing and everything works just fine for him. And
that's without any changes on the LXD snap side (LXCFS, LXC, LXD - all
the same!)

Now we have another report:
https://github.com/canonical/lxd/issues/14178

I decided to share this information in this issue instead of filling a
new one so we can collect all the problems with ZFS on a new kernels in
one place.

To conclude: all points that we have a bug in ZFS which leads to a
kernel/userspace memory corruption...
