That's not a big deal.  Unless you're dealing with some development
stuff on Solaris, you can only boot from UFS anyway.

I haven't seen that.

One configuration detail used to be an issue, and I don't know if it's
gone away in recent releases.  The 'root' volume used to be special.  It
had a minor number of 0, so it was impossible to have two volumes in a
diskgroup that could be a valid boot filesystem.  That would give an
LU-like tool more flexibility with VxVM volumes.
