As I understand, O. Hartmann's report ( ohartmann at walstatt.org ) in:

https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2018-March/068806.html

includes a system with a completely non-ZFS context: UFS only. Quoting that 
part:

Unless this is unrelated, it would suggest that ZFS and its ARC need not
be involved.

Would what you are investigating relative to your "NUMA and concurrency
related work" fit with such a non-ZFS (no-ARC) context?
