> VM's disk is a zfs filesystem on the host, it makes snapshotting (edit- ok maybe not, see below) and managing it super easy!

I think you mean that it's a ZFS volume? Although it should be possible to export a filesystem to a guest over NFS (or I guess 9p), but I haven't run into a lot of discussion or gotten around to testing it myself...

My dream would be to see https://github.com/samuelkarp/runj polished and docker+containerd+runj made to work as the way to run the docker frontend with jails as the backend.
