1. boot disk dies

    Importing ZFS pool will be just one command after Solaris
    re-install and that's it. So when it comes to data on ZFS it will
    just work.

    However Zones can be an issue - first it won't just work and even
    after some manual tweaking there can be possible problems (after
    some patches were applied before disk crashed, etc.). Worst case
    would be to "re-install" zones. I would consider creating separate
    ZFS file system on those two mirrored disks just for Zones and
    theirs data. But still it won't just work.
