Well I have already removed device physically and the pool continues to 
work despite yelling about missing log device. I already tried booting 
from flash drive and importing/exporting pool - this doesn't work. I 
also tried to replace this log device with another one. Replacing works 
and I can remove old device but the new one will now be unkillable.

Am I right that working without external log device is almost the same 
as working with disabled ZIL?
