What makes you say zvols are neglected? In fact the people that did most of the work porting ZFS to Linux, i.e. LLNL, use zvols for their HPC cluster and they still employ a number developers and the primary maintainer of ZoL. I also remember a quote from them stating that zvols were in fact more mature than vfs.

This is a long-standing issue with zvols which affects overall system stability, and has no real solution as of yet.
