If you are running ZFSv1 through ZFSv18 and your log device dies, your
pool is dead, gone, unrecoverable, no secret prize, no continues, do
not pass go, etc, etc, etc.

If you are running ZFSv19 or newer and your log device dies, you can
remove the dead device and carry on.  You will lose any data that was
in the ZIL, but the pool will be intact.

Simple as that.
