Zfs on a laptop means you run zfs with a single disk?

This is not unheard of among FreeBSD users. Most of ZFS's features do not require (or even necessarily benefit from) multiple disks.

Yup checksumming and snapshots and compression and at rest encryption are amazing to name a few

They make adaptors that let you replace the optical drive with another SATA drive. But my FreeBSD laptop has one disk and it's fine. You don't have redundancy, but you still get all the other features (snapshots, clones, compression), and even if it can't correct errors it will still catch data errors which is more than most other filesystems will do.

I ran ZFS with a single disk on a laptop. What's wrong with that?

Not necessarily, my laptop has 2 M2 slots.
