It's pretty stable; I wouldn't put anything on it that isn't backed up, but I guess that holds for any other filesystem. The speed isn't yet up to par with the ntfs-fuse project, but they're working on it. On my personal machine, I get 100MB/s writes and 250MB/s reads on an 8-drive RAID-Z2, but I don't know how that compares to anything else, since OpenSolaris won't boot on my hardware and I don't have the patience to wait for md to sync 8 TB worth of drives. I'm reasonably happy with zfs-fuse, but I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how it compares with a native filesystem that supports RAID6.
