Would it be possible to include it somehow? I'm using zfs stuff from buster-backports. I've tried using vfs_acl_xattr and the errors went away, but then samba stops respecting the setuid ACL. I'm thinking zfsacl should fix that (maybe?)

It was my experiments with TrueNAS (FBSD based) that led me to switch, and with ZOL 2.0 becoming the ZFS implementation on all OSes [1] and TrueNAS coming out with a Linux version [2] I can see user adoption rising. I know TrueNAS had a bunch of custom patches [3], but haven't tracked down what they do on SCALE yet. However I saw a glimpse of them promising to commit more stuff upstream in their issue tracked

I am  not saying that you cannot use ZFS, I am saying that I wouldn't 
use it with Samba. There have been numerous problems reported from 
FreeBSD about ACL problems.
