Yes we do this currently on some systems where we haven't had time to install and test Cluster software.
Even old 3310 array can be setup so 2 servers have storage visible. We export pool on one system and import it on the other, move over a virtual IP and the service is back up. You *really* don't want the confusion of 2 servers accessing the same pool though, this will ruin metadata and you'd better have backups. The problem I could see is some over-anxious admin does a zpool import -f to force access on the backup server, and the primary server is not dead but perhaps VERY busy and suddenly un-hangs and thinks it still has control of the pool. I'd get someone to pull the plug or if you have console bring it to OK prompt on the primary just to be sure of things.
