i have also come across this issue today
- fresh install of pve 8.1 inside a VM
- zfs rootfs (rpool)
- added a single disk and put zfs on that via pve gui (name testzfs)
- reboot
getting several of these on reboot

Feb 13 21:48:27 pve systemd[1]: Reached target zfs-import.target - ZFS pool import target.
did some "zpool export testzfs" and the pool reappeared automatically.
after that, the error was gone and not reproducable any more.
then i deleted testzfs pool and wipefs'd /dev/sdb - and recreated zpool via gui with new name "testzfs2"
on reboot, the error is back, but not with "pool already exists" but with "no such pool available". but it's there after boot - and mounted

another "zpool export testzfs2" and - voila - the error is gone again.
