I've heard update 5, so several months at least.

Are you isolating OS/root data from application/user data?  Do you have
2 dedicated disks to mirror root on?  If so, my guess is that later
upgrading will be easy.  Root ZFS pools will be restricted, so you won't
be sharing them with your non-root data in most cases.  That suggests to
me that I'd be able to break my existing SVM mirror and install a ZFS
root, later mirroring with the other disk.
