I'm thinking about making some changes on how my homelab will work, and I wondered if any of you have experience with the windows ZFS driver (ZFSin), how does it works? any issue with it? bad performance?

I think it's pretty stalled at this point, while the Mac OS port of ZFS, from which this is derived, gets integrated into upstream OpenZFS. That work seems to still have a bit to go before it's complete.

I still harbor hope that Microsoft might adopt the project following the demise of ReFS or whatever it was called. Stranger things have happened!
