If your applications do that -- manipulate large files, primarily copying them -- then it may be. If your applications have other access patterns, probably not. If you're concerned about whether you should put ZFS into production, then you should put it onto your test system and run your real applications on it for a while to qualify it (just as you should for any other file system or hardware).
