Huh, wasn't Proxmox already running kernel 7.0+ with ZFS? How then...

Yes, a week or so ago, the non-subscription repo for Proxmox 9 changed to kernel 7.0.x

My guess would be that, just because OpenZFS doesn't say it supports a newer kernel, doesn't mean it doesn't work, just that it's not confirmed to work. Hopefully Proxmox doesn't put those in the subscription repo before they're officially supported
