have you ever successfully broken the zfs to the point where it's not recoverable?

i've had my curse zfs moment in the past even though had it in a raid z2. Later i've found out that was an incompatibility from the controller firmware version and the backplane of disks.

What i took out of the situation is that if zfs broke in my case any other filesystem would have broken 10 times over.

Fixed the firmware redid the raid and it has been working for 4+ years without a flaw.
