IANAL.

Oracle is very litigious. However, OpenZFS has been releasing code for more than a decade. Ubuntu shipped integrated ZFS/Linux in 2016. It's certain that Oracle knows all about it and has decided that being vague is more in their interests than actually settling the matter.

On my list of potential legal worries, this is not a priority for me.

I would add to this "IANAL But" list

https://aws.amazon.com/fsx/openzfs/

So -- AWS / Amazon are certainly big enough to have reviewed the licenses and have some understanding of potential legal risks of this.
