Hello rmaxhost, I must admit that I probably do not understand what you're asking, sorry.

When you install PVE from the installation .iso (usually from an USB stick) you can select ZFS and create a mirror, utilizing those two S3610. That's fine - and from my point of view actually the best choice. (As long as no other devices are available.)

The result is a single ZFS pool called "rpool" which holds the OS - and this pool offers a logical storage called "local-zfs" which is capable to hold both ZVOLs for virtual disk for VMs and Datasets, which are used for LXC-containers at the same time.

What specific question do you have?
