After reviewing zfs docs, which show that you can "expand" fs size by increasing the quota while the filesystem is online, your initial comment makes more sense. It might be worth noting the XFS documentation page at http://www.xfs.org/index.php/Shrinking_Support, which shows that XFS is at least more likely to have that option adopted/implemented than ZFS

Even the btrfs proponent SUSE does not have enough confidence in it to enable it by default for /home, even though snapshots would be pretty great for restored accidentally saved documents. (open)SUSE defaults to XFS for /home because they know exactly that XFS is the mature choice these days.

But seriously, I've running RAID1 with different sized disks and lots of other fancy features enabled, I've had several disks die over the course of 2 years (they were already old and recycled to start with... not trusting them was the reason behind the RAID1 in the first place) and I've faced 0 problems so far.
Now I run Btrfs on a couple of servers too, and it has saved me many hours of time not having to rebuild RAIDs and being able to use unmatched size disks for it.

Yeah XFS is definitely an awesome FS, known for being rock solid and slowly gaining some modern features. In terms of functionality and design however, BTRFS is light-years ahead of it, and was designed to support these features from the start.
