Your problem coincides with a thread at freebsd-current with very similar data corruption after a recent OpenZFS import: blocks of all zeroes, but also missing files. So, perhaps these problems are related?

Apparently, there was a recent fix for a data corruption issue with the block_cloning feature enabled, but people are still seeing corruption even when they never enabled that feature.

I couldn’t really find the start of the thread in the archives, so this one kind of jumps into the middle of the thread at a relevant-looking point:
