You make an excellent point about single-point-of-failure. It wouldn't necessarily have to be a new daemon. ZFS already has a daemon, so this could just be additional functionality.
I've pointed Brian Behlendorf (the upstream ZFS-on-Linux lead developer) to this bug report. It'd be nice to get some official comments from upstream.
As I said, I definitely want to see something done, to make removable media work correctly. (Though how to unmount it is a different question.)
