I allocate all my SSD space to one ZFS pool and then:

- I can easily create new subvolumes (filesystems or block devices), for different mount points, containers, other distributions, VM disks...

- The free space is shared between all of them, no need to anticipate a partitioning layout

- I have a service that automatically snapshots some of them, others not

- I love the ZFS tools, I'm very happy to use them on all my machines

- I use NixOS everywhere and so it's also easier to share the same conf on all my machines

- I can send volumes easily from one machine to the other (zfs send)

I probably miss other things, but I also love consistency ;)
