I run arch and zfs on my laptop. I haven't had any issues really.. assuming your not trying to saturate a few gbit sustained, I imagine the performance won't come into play.
If you absolutely require encryption on disk as well, I would go with FreeBSD; Little bit more bare bones when compared with freenas. On 2014-04-21 1:06 PM, "Paul Sierks" psierks@sierkstech.net wrote:

After further investigation (one VM with FreeBSD, and a man page later), turns out that it doesn't support native ZFS encryption either. Not sure if this is a Solaris patent or licensing thing. The setup for FreeBSD would be ZFS on top of GELI. Similairly, I might as well continue to use Arch Linux, with ZFS on top of LUKS.
