We are using it in production and have a 6TB RAIDZ on FreeBSD8 RC2 amd64
we are quite happy with the FreeBSD 8 setup.
we tried it on FreeBSD 7.2 i386 and did not like it (we got a few panics)

the only trouble we really had on FreeBSD8 is the sharenfs manpages
are not updated.
so we are using the classic /etc/exports instead of the zfs option.
