L2ARC, but that sounds much more complicated to me. Any insights from ZFS developers would be appreciated.

Compressing the L2ARC data shouldn't be that hard, I had to do something very similar for adding encryption support to the L2ARC.

When the L2ARC becomes persistent after reboot it should be possible to have an compressed L2ARC since it should be switching to writing via the normal ZIO pipeline (zio_write) rather than using zio_write_phys.
