It looks like we're between a rock and a hard place. We want to use ZFS for one project because of snapshots and data integrity - both would give us considerable advantages over ufs (not to mention filesystem size). Unfortunately, this is critical company data and the access control has to be exactly right all the time: the default ACLs as implemented in UFS are exactly what we need and work perfectly.
The original plan was to allow the inheritance of owner/group/other permissions. Unfortunately, during ARC reviews we were forced to remove that functionality, due to POSIX compliance and security concerns.
We can look into alternatives to provide a way to force the creation of directory trees with a specified set of permissions.
