Only for VM storage or databases do you need or want to enable sync.

If you simply use ZFS without foreign filesystems on it (VMs), ZFS will never corrupt on a crash due Copy On Write. So for regular filer use, disable sync unless you want a maximal security for small files like on a mailserver.

Statistics are cumulative since boot, so specify an interval for more useful stats.
