I encountered an issue migrating some VMs from a standalone host to a cluster primarily using Ceph storage.
The migration would fail complaining of "no matching import/export format found" for the Ceph pool.
I re-enabled local-ZFS and was able to migrate the VMs into the cluster with that and then migrate them again within the cluster to get them into Ceph. So not the end of the world, just a minor annoyance.
Sanitized log of an attempt to migrate directly to Ceph:
