Just use defaul zfs on encrypted geli as installer suggests. Use aesni
module to use hardware for encryption. It works fine :-)

PEFS may be good for local encryption of selected directory / files. zfs +
geli is better for system wide. Please report PEFS to bugzilla it ma be
fixed soon :-)

ZFS provides you with (differential) snapshot (and then standard stream)
mechanism that you can put into cron to create automatic incremental
backups and export.
