Has consideration been given to setting multiple properties at once in a single zfs set command?
For example, consider attempting to maintain quota == reservation, while increasing both. It is impossible to maintain this equality without some additional help.
Quota must be increased first (because the reservation can't exceed the quota), increasing the reservation could fail (due to insufficient space), and restoring the quota to the previous value can fail (due to file system growth). It would seem convenient if these race conditions could be handled in the kernel.
Alternatively, why not allow the reservation to exceed the quota? Some space is unusable until the quota is raised, but isn't that acceptable and/or desirable?
