i.e. == that is. e.g. = example. RAID5 is not major functionality, it should no longer exist.

Can you explain why you feel that way? ZFS has intelligently managed RAID that keeps the performance penalty minimal. I'd rather have multiple-redundancy parity than 2x mirroring, and it takes less space.

ZFS' raid-z is nothing but pain. Does it have standard raid-5 now?

There is RAID-Z2 which allows for 2 discs to fail and RAID-Z3 which allows for 3. Problem is rebuild time is still slow. I wouldn't recommend to use RAID-Z1.
