Actually I find the basics of its design pretty simple (cow/txg/zil)
and for that reason I think it is going to become very robust in the
near future, if it isn't already.

What is complex is the various journal and soft-updates code that
traditional file systems use.

But yes it has performance problems in some workloads and needs more
cpu/ram than usual.
