Is there something inherent in snaps that makes this easier or better
than debs? For example, do snaps support multiple installable versions
of the same package name?

If snaps aren’t inherently better, the same thing could be done with
debs using the usual convention for having multiple versions in the
archive simultaneously: having zfsutils0.6 and zfsutils0.7 source
packages producing similarly versioned-in-the-name binary packages
(which in this case conflict as they are not co-installable). Each would
depend on an appropriate kernel package that has the matching module.
Then zfsutils-linux would be an empty package with: Depends: zfsutils-
linux0.7 | zfsutils-linux0.6.
