Switching to AHCI changes the device interface presented to the kernel
and you need a different device driver to access the data.  As long as
your OS supports AHCI (and that is true of any OS that supports ZFS)
then you will still be able to access the disks - though the actual
path to the disk or disk device name will change.

Only if your OS is broken.  The data is equally accessible in either
mode.  ZFS makes it easier to switch modes because it doesn't care
about the actual device name - at worst, you will need an export and
import.
