The concern I have, and which I expressed off-list, but maybe is sufficiently architetural to mention here, is this: if beadm were to rely on this feature, then beadm would have to know to mount every dataset that makes up the BE being mounted. That seems like a lot to ask of beadm, and if beadm does not implement that, then splitting of / into separate datasets will be harder to pull off. That said, clearly / should not be split along certain lines, such as any that would break pkg hardlink actions. What those lines are is not this case; whether ZFS makes it harder to get allowable / splits to work is.
