I hear a lot about the virtues of OpenZFS, which is available
for GNU/Linux albeit, due to license concerns, only in a roundabout
way.  A separate external module must be compiled and then added
to the kernel.
 Since my programming predilection is HPC/scientific/engineering,
I know little about disk I/O concepts.  So answer these questions
if you are able.
 Is OpenZFS suitable/recommended for a desktop workstation?
 What are the benefits of OpenZFS compared to EXT4?
 Is OpenZFS stable enough to be trusted?
 I will appreciate all responses.
 

What's your use case for switching away from EXT4 to OpenZFS?
