Try this:
zpool upgrade
By default, it will just tell you the current versions of zpools, without
actually doing any upgrades. If your zpool is 19 or greater, then the loss
of a ZIL is not fatal to the pool. You should be able to "zpool import" and
then you'll see a message about "zpool import -F"
If you have zpool < 19, then it's lost.
BTW, just to make sure you know ... Having a ZIL in RAM makes no sense
whatsoever, except for academic purposes. For a system in actual usage, you
should either implement nonvolatile ZIL device, or disable ZIL (to be used
with caution.)
