The goal was to do "damage control" in a disk failure scenario

Which would you prefer, loose a couple of datasets, or loose a
little bit of every file in every dataset.
This ignores the fact that zfs is based on complex heirarchical data
structures which support the user data. When a pool breaks, it is
usually because one of these complex data structures has failed, and
not because user data has failed.
It seems easiest to support your requirement by simply creating
another pool.
The vast majority of complaints to this list are about pool-wide
problems and not lost files due to media/disk failure.
