Shameless plug: did you try an approach like 
https://github.com/jimklimov/illumos-smf-zfspools to define an SMF dependency 
between a pool whose vdevs reside on an iscsi initiator, or an iscsi target 
residing on a pool, and perhaps other services like zones to depend on the 
non-rpool zfs pool (SMFized)?

At least for the case of well ordered and synced graceful shutdowns and 
startups, this should help you.
