I originally configured a server using 3x raidz2 vdevs of 8 drives each
spread across 2 12-port controllers, with 4 drives from each vdev on 1
controller, and the other 4 drives from each vdev on the other controller.

I've since moved the drives around so that all 8 drives of the first vdev
are on the first controller, all 8 drives of the third vdev are on the
second controller, with the second vdev being split across both controllers.

Everything is still running smoothly.
