For me, this doesn't matter because ZFS is so much faster than UFS
overall.  Even if you don't use any of its features, the latest version
does sequential I/O and heavy random I/O faster than UFS on the same
hardware for me.

Cases where UFS is faster are proving to be the exception rather than
the rule.

However, I cannot recommend its use until it is stable, which it
currently still is not, under very heavy load.
