Ceph upstream doesn't test Ceph with ZFS, so just don't do it.

I see also that Lindsay told you small ceph setups don't give good 
performance; don't know about his experience, but mine is quite good. We 
have 4 3-node clusters (with 3-10 VMs) with ceph and are very happy with 
the performance. It is very important to choose the right SSD for the 
journal.

Cheers
