Maybe 'shadow migration' ? (eg: zfs create -o shadow=nfs://server/dir

That isn't really a ZFS feature, since it happens at the VFS layer. The ZFS support there is really about getting the options passed through and checking status but the core of the work happens at the VFS layer.

Shadow migration works with UFS as well!

Since I'm replying here are a few others that have been introduced in Solaris 11 or 11.1.

There is also the new improved ZFS share syntax for NFS and CIFS in Solaris 11.1 where you can much more easily inherit and also override individual share properties.

There is improved diganostics rules.

ZFS support for Immutable Zones (mostly a VFS feature) & Extended (privilege) Policy and aliasing of datasets in Zones (so you don't see the part of the dataset hierarchy above the bit delegated to the zone).

UEFI GPT label support for root pools with GRUB2 and on SPARC with OBP.

New "sensitive" per file flag.

Various ZIL and ARC performance improvements.

Preallocated ZVOLs - for swap/dump.

Again, what significant features did they add besides encryption? I'm
not saying they didn't, I'm just not aware of that many.

Just a few examples:

Solaris ZFS already has support for 1MB block size.

Support for SCSI UNMAP - both issuing it and honoring it when it is
the backing store of an iSCSI target.

It also has a lot of performance improvements and general bug fixes in
the Solaris 11.1 release.
