Yeah, I came across that in my searching.  Although, I thought people 
had found success adding “-o ashift=9” to the replace command.
I can confirm that this raidz1 is ashift=9, and the disks in it 512
byte sectorsize.  The other two raidz’s are ashift=12.

diskinfo shows 512 as sectorsize for one of the older disks
(matching model to the removed da3), and 4096 sectorsize
for the new disk.

Is this totally impossible?  I know I have replaced smaller disks with
much larger ones in the past, though it’s been a few years and
I don’t remember the details.  Is there really no way to put a 4k
block disk in a set with 512 byte blocks?  I thought they were still
able to “act” like 512-byte block disks?  (512e)
