If you wish to use ZFS you can do that, but you'll need to install from scratch using the bootstrap method.
Firstly install a base FreeBSD 12.1 system then do this.

# pkg install ca_root_nss
# fetch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/opnsense/update/master/bootstrap/opnsense-bootstrap.sh (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/opnsense/update/master/bootstrap/opnsense-bootstrap.sh)
# sh ./opnsense-bootstrap.sh

( I now have this response saved as a hotkey! )

That didn't really answer his question.  Is a native ZFS installer on the roadmap?  I believe the answer is yes.  ZFS root is a part of the native bsdinstall tool, which I believe 21.7 will move to.  So in theory zfs root should be an option natively with 21.7.

Indeed, but officially nothing is offical
