In case you didn't hear TrueNAS is going partially closed source. However, there seems to be a lack of alternatives.

Any ideas on what to move to?

Straight up barebones Linux.

    That's likely what I'll end up doing

    I've been running straight Ubuntu with ZFS-on-Linux since 18.04, and it has been smooth sailing. If you're running a lot of containerized things it's very convenient to just be able to bind mount ZFS dataset into containers.

    Normally I prefer CentOS/RockyLinux, or some other EL distribution, but in this case I really appreciate that Canonical isn't purist enough to ship ZFS as a loadable kernel module that is guaranteed to be in sync with the shipped kernel. And don't have to deal with DKMS.
