Personally, I have lost data (not important or backed up) only with two file systems, namely XFS (about 20 years ago) and BTRFS (more recently). Even ext4 has caused me some issues, but it didn't lose data. In my eyes, ZFS has always been on another level. It's like when hardware is defined as Enterprise grade: it has significantly higher reliability, sometimes at the cost of a few trade-offs.
When ZFS was introduced in FreeBSD, I had mixed feelings: on one hand, I saw it as a "betrayal" of the Unix philosophy, something foreign within the base system. On the other hand, I was happy to see ZFS on FreeBSD and be able to use it natively. Today, that feeling of doubt has disappeared.
