I agree that the causes and repercussions are less now than they were a long time ago. But /var still can and sometimes does fill up, and it is kind of handy to have quotas and separate filesystem settings and so on. I guess there's no overall crying reason to use a separate /var, but there's always this argument: it can't hurt anything. Especially with ZFS. In the old days if /var was a separate partition then you risked making it too big or too small. But given the flexibility of ZFS, I think the question is really "is there any reason *not* to put /var on a separate ZFS filesystem?"
