The first problem you are going to have, is that whilst Kali and Ubuntu may both be Debian based, Kali is binary compatible whilst Ubuntu is not..
The second is you want to use ZFS, if you already have some ZFS drives you need to access, I get it, otherwise ZFS solves no problems you would have with Kali, Ext4 is performant for Kali, BTRFS if you want its CoW features, and its natively supported on Linux..
