Based on the latest information that you have provided and the history of your
problem I think that the problem is caused by the BIOS or other firmware
components in your system.

So, the next step would be to check if there are newer versions of BIOS and
firmware for the disk controller and see if upgrading fixes the issue.

If that does not help, or just as an alternative solution, you can break up
your freebsd-zfs partition in two such that the first one does not cross 2 TiB
boundary (from the start of the disk).  Then you can create a boot / root pool
on top of that partition.  You were prepared to go back to UFS, so this could
allow you to keep using ZFS, but at the cost of moving data.
BTW, if you go with this solution and you get a bootable system, then I still
would like to see output of lsdev -v from the loader prompt (which you get by
selecting "escape to propmpt" option from the loader menu).
