I've set up a PVE host with ZFS on root. Could I just do snapshots and and zfs send/receive to backup the whole system to a zfs backup server and easily restore the system in case of a disaster? Specifically reinstall Proxmox again with zfs on root and then just replicate the complete rpool with datasets from the backup to the reinstalled machine? This is a small home lab setup and I would like to stick to ZFS and not introduce Proxmox Backup Server as an additional layer - especially since everything is ZFS based and hence backups/snapshots should be much more efficient
ZFS send/receive full system replication to other host sufficient/possible

yes, but there's an even simpler way. see https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/PVE-zsync
