I have exactly that setup (3 drives, GPT partitions aligned to 4k
boundaries, geli with 4k sector size, on top of that RAID-Z), and
the write performance is the same as with a single ZFS partition on
a regular 512-sector disk. So yes, it does work. (I don’t have a
benchmark on how geli affects RAID-Z performance though, since
all my ZFS partitions are encrypted.
