I have no information about your particular situation, but you have to
remember the ZFS uncovers problems that otherwise go unnoticed. Just
personally on my private hardware (meaning a very limited set), I have
seen silent corruption issues several times. The most recent one I
discovered almost immediately because of ZFS. If it weren't for ZFS, I
would have been highly likely to have transfered my entire system
without noticing and suffer weird problems a couple of weeks later.

While I don't know what is going on in your case, blaming the
introduction of a piece of software/hardware/procedure on some problem
without identifying a causal relationship, is a common mistake to
make.
