Not exactly an answer:

Most of the systems I'm running today on ZFS root have compression=on
and copies=2 for rpool/ROOT

what I did was to migrate via live upgrade, creating the pool and the
pool/ROOT filesystem myself, tweaking both  copies and compression on
pool/ROOT before using lucreate.

I haven't tried this on a fresh install yet.

after install, I'd think you could play games with zfs send | zfs
receive on an inactive BE to rewrite everything with the desired
attributes (more important for copies than compression).
