It works just fine but it might not be "recommended". I run it on a few
boxes, Glen on many. Just remove the bootfs flag from the root zpool,
add the zil, and then add the boot flag back. I think this was more
dangerous when the loss of a zil was a serious matter, but isn't such a
concern anymore. Someone else will probably fill in details or correct
me on these points :-)
