you could always run openwrt as a vm under a hypervisor, for example proxmox.
then you can keep openwrt without any extra packages like zfs and create extra 
vms as needed, proxmox already supports zfs if im not mistaken.

if your lucky with the iommu groups you might even be able to pass thru one or 
more physical network interfaces to the openwrt vm directly.
