After that it is up and running. Worth noting, you will need 4GB of RAM to even fire up the process, which is a tad excessive when you consider that you can run its competition in production with far less RAM than that.
Current docs show only 2GB required. I built the VM with 3GB and 2 vCPU.

And only XFS and EXT4 filesystems are supported. That means no ZFS, no BtrFS, no JFS2, etc.
Who cares?
A lot of people, especially on places like FreeNAS forums or tend to be very "anti" traditional solid filesystems and are religiously addicted to ZFS and BtrFS or ReFS style filesystems.

I don't care about stupid. Everything RHEL/Fedora defaults to XFS.
No idea what Debian 9 or Ubuntu default to.
