Why does Proxmox team have not incorporated a software Raid in the install process ? So that we could include redundancy and lvm advantages when using local disks.

Try the above as it was suggested to you ...


But I suspect I have no space to create an
additional zfs volume since the one mounted on "/" occupied all the space

No, that's a wrong assumption, zfs does not pre-allocate the whole space of
the pool, even if looks like it does so. In short there is no need to
"shrink" the pool in order to create a zvol as it was suggested above...
Still, the whole idea of having LVM ontop of ZFS/zvol is a mess, but if you
insist, it's up to you ...
A combination of Linux RAID + LVM would look much more elegant in your
case, but for that you have to reinstall PVE by using the Debian iso.
During the installation create a linux raid array with lvm on top and then
add PVE repos ass described in the wiki:

That's right. Now I understand that lvm/zfs would be a mess. Mainly because zfs doesn't create a block devices such as partitions on which I could do pvcreate ...
and make It part of a lvm volumen group.

After a (zfs create -V 100G rpool/lvm) a have to do a losetup to create a loop device an so on...

Instead, I will keep zfs Raid mounted on "/" (local storage) on the last 4 Proxmox, remove the local-lvm storage from all Proxmox, and resize the local storage of the first 4 Proxmox . In such a way that all the 8 Proxmox have just local storage making the migration of VMs between nodes easy.
