Of course / not recommended: you can live happily and more easily without 
it, if you don't need it.

Aside from being a filesystem? ;) 

For desktops? It's CoW and it has snapshots, and a faster cache.
However these benefits may be completely irrelevant to someone.

> Is OpenZFS stable enough to be trusted?

Just check before you upgrade the kernel, if you live on the edge...
