ZFS inside a virtual machine?

Is there any technical reason why I shouldn't use ZFS inside a virtual machine on a hypervisor over a hardware RAID?

You need ZFS inside a virtual machine, so what?

And why do you need an extra layer, extra overhead, extra labor? Hardware gets rid of it all

ZFS does not need to be virtualized, an extra scrub in this case can only corrupt the data.
If you want ZFS, forward the HBA to the VM.

but why the heck, you will sit in a performance, well, in case of problems with data in the zfs, everything is much more difficult to fix than in the same ext4,
it’s not very clear why you need it there? the performance of the file system
does not add to the reliability of the data ; the memory consumption for servicing the fs decreases greatly; it seems that there is not a single plus
