Would this be the same as failing a drive on purpose to remove it?
I was under the impression that was supported, but I wasn't sure if
shrinking a ZFS pool would work though.
Not quite. I suspect you are thinking about drive replacement rather

Drive replacement is already supported in ZFS and the task involves
rebuilding data on the disk from data available elsewhere. Drive
removal involves rebalancing data from the target drive to other
disks. The latter is non-trivial.
