CDDL (ZFS’s license) is also like that, the problem is exactly the two “strong” copyleft licenses.

The CDDL isn't a strong copyleft licence. It doesn't give a shit what larger project you include the code into, and it doesn't give a shit how you licence the resulting binary. It's considerably more permissive than the GPL.

The conflict is entirely on the GPL side.
