backup server, I should be able to compress by about a factor of 1.5x. If I enable both on the rpool filesystem, then clone the boot environment, that should enable it on the new BE (which would be a child of rpool/ROOT), right?
If by 'clone' you are talking about zfs's clone, I don't think that this will immediately save you any space since zfs clone is done by block references to existing blocks. You would need to actually copy (or re-write) the files in order for them to be compressed.
Using lzjb compression sounds like a good idea. I doubt that GRUB supports gzip compression so take care that you use a compression algorithm that GRUB understands or your system won't boot.
