No. ZFS is in some contexts a real workhorse. In the Linux context it hasn't
been due to some (perhaps intentional, on Sun's side) license incompatibilities,
but in the *BSD (and in the Oracle) context it is a very reliable and
powerful file system, with features comparable to those of BTRFS, only that
the latter is not quite there yet.

Look at the Wikipedia page [1] to get an idea of what it can do. If you need
big (and have the iron for it), it's in a different galaxy than ext4 (I'm
an ext4 fan, but my laptop is measly 1TB :-)
