Before you get too far, consider setting up users with a domain like Samba-Domain. This way you get centralized user management for anything you decide to host alongside it.
Also, ZFS is great for backups.

A full-blown samba domain is extremely overkill if you don’t have a fleet of windows machines.
You can get centralized user management with a simple LDAP server or similar, no need for a domain.

Samba-Domain is extremely lightweight, surfaces LDAP and AD, and can manage Linux and mac laptops, not just Windows. I wouldnt call it overkill.
Also, restoring single files from a snapshot is simple, I don’t get this? Lastly, of your whole data drive is one dataset in ZFS, you are ZFSing wrong.
