Let's play a game here. :-)

Suppose you wanted a 1PB zpool and you wanted dedup. How much memory would
you need for that and would you separate out ZIL cache etc?

I'm guessing ( total WAG ) that one would want at least 16TB of memory. I
have no idea of any system out there that can pop that many 8G ECC SIMMs (
2048 of them ) into.

But really .. what sort of theoretical machine would be needed to handle a
single 1024 TB zpool ?
