about a year ago i purchased an opnsense racl appliance9the model escapes me at the moment). did these last gen devices not ship with zfs by default?
It's too vague to give an answer. But you can easily get that information from the dashboard (disk partitions listed) or when you run a health check. It says what the root file system is at the top.

Hello, if such appliance is running of an "USB/SDCard/CF" or similar, leave it as is(UFS), however if such appliance can run on either single or a pair of "NVMe/M.2/SSD/HDD" then ZFS is the next-gen enterprise file system you want with vast of features/utilities.
The default On-Dashboard Boot-Environments(Snapshots) can "preview/create/name-edit/destroy", a must have tool for upgrades, quick-rollback testing etc, but not limited too, you can use CLI tools to backup/restore to/from remote servers as well for easy disaster recovery etc.
Kudos to the OPNsense/Deciso team for such formidable work and bring the ZFS file system on the installer.
P.S. Sorry forgot to add the attached images as Preview Thumbnails.
