Since most people with decently simple setups don't have the described problem likely somethings up with your setup.
Yes ifta old and yes it's complicated but it doesn't have to be to get a decent performance.
I have been trying to get ZFS working well for months. Also I am not the only one having issues as I have seen lots of other posts about similar problems.
I don't doubt that you have problems with your setup. Given the large number of (simple) zfs setups that are working flawlessly there are a bound to be a large number of issues to be found on the Internet. People that are discontent voice their opinion more often and loudly compared to the people that are satisfied.
I used to run a mirror for a while with WD USB disks. Didn't notice any performance problems. Used Ubuntu LTS which has a built-in ZFS module, not DKMS, although I doubt there's performance problems stemming from DKMS.
