• 2x18k - mirrored ZFS pool.
• 1x47k - 2.5" drive from an old laptop used for torrents, temp data, non-critical pod volumes, application logs etc.
• 1x32k - automated backups from ZFS pool. It’s kinda partial mirror of the main pool.
• 1x18k - (NVME) OS drive, cache volumes for pods.

Instead of single pool, I simply split my drives into tiers: cache, storage, and trash due to limited drive counts. Most R/W goes to the cheap trash and cache disks instead of relatively new and expensive NAS drives.

Biggest difference is being able to execute INSTCMD commands, at least that was the main reason why I developed my own tool. Another less important differences are: older ARM support and since it’s written in Rust, it’s much more efficient in terms of resource usage. TBH, being that efficient only makes sense for very low-power devices.

Besides that, I don’t think you can go wrong with either project.
