Thanks. I'll go beat on those when I get some time.

possibly an installer issue with how the main zpool (e.g. rpool) is created? I
don’t think the bootloader in OmniOS (or SmartOS booting off a zpool) are any
different than what’s in OI, so that’s the only thing I can think of.

Have you tried? What problems did you run into?
I do believe he was referring to OI specifically. AFAIK, OI itself (not the
live USB) has long had EFI boot issues, while other Illumos distributions such
as OmniOS don't.
Unless I'm mistaken, the issue has been repeatedly paved over in great detail
on the OI mailing list.
illumos has had support for booting from disks > 2TB for a few years
now, both in our ancient grub boot loader and of course also in the new
loader that Toomas Soome ported from FreeBSD a few years ago.
