I use the community impermanence flake instead of ZFS or btrfs. It's still fairly nice; I actually like knowing that stuff like ~/.cache doesn't persist anywhere on disk, even in snapshots. It does require a lot of careful thought, like e.g. which parts of the persistent disk need to be backed up locally.
