They still can't seem to get BTRFS working anywhere nearly as well as ZFS on FreeBSD. Plus, you get a lovely init structure with no Systemd garbage. I love it.
Native OpenZFS encryption definately coming to FreeBSD, (and all the other OSes that use OpenZFS). I played with native ZFS encryption on Linux last summer, (August 2017), and it was pretty stable then. But, details of ZFS send & receive, (raw verses un-encrypted), were still being worked out. And based on the ZFS on Linux github bugs, there are lots of corner cases being resolved.
So, in some regards be happy OpenZFS on Linux is dealing with all the bugs. Whence they are squashed, the other OSes like FreeBSD, will get stablized and well documented native OpenZFS encryption.
Just remember, this is at rest encryption. Not a pancea for all security issues.

ZFS on FreeBSD.
That has been nothing but an excellent experience for me.

Wish the native encryption for ZFS would be released into BSD... yes, GELI, we love you, but I wanna go native, baby.
