I don't think that is actually true, particularly given that you can use 
zoneadm clone using a ZFS snapshot/clone to "copy" zones - that alone 
kind of implies that the zone root can be on a ZFS filesystem.

Also if you set zonepath to be a directory in a ZFS dataset zoneadm 
install will automatically do a zfs create for you - once again kind of 
implying that a zone's root can be on ZFS.  There is even a -x nodatset 
flag to zoneadm install to change this default behaviour.

Don't do that, instead take a look at the zoneadm attach and detach 
commands.
