Probably not without having specific requirements that leverage the ZFS

EXT4 is the better option for my needs at home.

OK.  Thanks.
 
I was just curious but I'll stick with EXT4.

You are right about it.
It's a bad idea to rely on something owned by Oracle. It's a bad
company which changes the rules of the game during the game. Look at
what happened with java it was free until it starts to be under paid
licence. And there is nothing zfs brings that doesn't exist on other
file systems.

   Hard to go wrong with EXT4, esp on a 'home system'.

Exactly.

   However some ZFS features might be useful in a
   larger, biz, environment. Lots of people love
   the 'snapshot' feature - kind of an easy backup.

If you want snapshots, you have btrfs. If you want really big
environments you have cephfs. So zfs is useless and to be avoided.
