If no other writes occurred during the capacity upgrade then I'd
suspect it would be possible.  The transaction numbers would still
vary across the drives and the pool information would be inconsistent
but I suspect a recent version of ZFS could manage to recover.

It might be possible to test this by creating a small, file-backed
RAIDZn zpool, simulating a capacity upgrade, exporting that pool
and trying to import the original zpool from the detached files.
