about OpenIndiana.
OpenIndiana is always based on the most current Illumos (the common development platform for all Illumos based distributions) with quite a huge repository including many server and desktop apps. This is different to the new OmniOS 151030 LTS (long term stable) from may 2019 that is a freeze of the current Illumos state for the next 2 years with only security and bug fixes. Beside extras like LX zones and Bhyve OmniOS 151030 is quite similar to OpenIndiana 2019.05 text.

new features in current Illumos/OpenIndiana (OmniOS bloody)

SSD manual (zpool trim poolname) and auto trim as pool property
Feature #1701: ZFS to support UNMAP/TRIM for SSD - illumos gate - illumos
Very new and potentially critical ZFS feature, for production data wait some time.

Force ashift during pool creation/ add vdev
Feature #11640: add zpool ashift property tunable - illumos gate - illumos

 

[gea]

There is a warning about trim on some SSDs leading to a corrupt pool, so not yet production ready
see Bug #11714: temporarily disable ZFS TRIM support - illumos gate - illumos

 

[gea]

Seems that Illumos has added a blacklist that detects SSDs who do not support trim as not trimmable

Bug #11714: temporarily disable ZFS TRIM support - illumos gate - illumos

btw
I have uploaded napp-it 19f1a pre (pre version of next napp-it free/base edition) that supports trim, encryption and dedup/special vdevs. You can also use this version on Linux as a target for replications. This edition is not final (parts like ZFS Cluster or Keyserver are not fully ready or working)

Encryption, trim and special vdevs are in newest OI (OI is always newest Illumos or with a very short delay in OmniOS bloody or in next OmniOS stable in november)
