These properties apparently make a significant performance difference for Samba shares and are widely recommended for ZoL, but were not made the default (even on ZoL itself) due to compatibility between Ilumos ZFS/ZFS on Linux. (link)
With TrueNAS being based on ZoL, and me not caring at all about non-FreeBSD compatibility, or older versions of TrueNAS, is there any reason not to set those 2 settings?
Useful information on these properties (I found more on zattr than dnodesize):
