Almost certainly -- before, we would never attempt to mmap() on ZFS.

Looking through sys/contrib/openzfs, there's special handling for mmap
on linux because it bypasses the page cache and relies on caching in
ARC. AFAICT the FreeBSD side seems to handle write() to mmap'd
regions, but doesn't do anything with VOP_MMAPPED which might be
needed to sync the file when it's mmap'd for reading like this. My
understanding of how this is supposed to actually work on FreeBSD is
limited, though, so I defer...
