Ezjail now supports ZFS.

Sharing one basejail via nullfs is useful feature, can Iocage do this?

Nullfs not only allows to save space on disk but also allows faster updates (extract new basejail then switch all jails to it, without full upgrade of each jail).

Also in software old doesn't mean bad, and newer is not automatically better.

I didn't mean to imply that. I just explained why ezjail looks so convoluted to a new user. Ezjail still solves the same problems today as it did 10 years ago. On the other hand since not even bloatware did keep up with storage cost decreases users can afford more comfortable trade-offs today.
