Try the above as it was suggested to you ...

No, that's a wrong assumption, zfs does not pre-allocate the whole space of
the pool, even if looks like it does so. In short there is no need to
"shrink" the pool in order to create a zvol as it was suggested above...
Still, the whole idea of having LVM ontop of ZFS/zvol is a mess, but if you
insist, it's up to you ...
A combination of Linux RAID + LVM would look much more elegant in your
case, but for that you have to reinstall PVE by using the Debian iso.
During the installation create a linux raid array with lvm on top and then
add PVE repos ass described in the wiki:
