First of all, thank you for your effort to make ZFS more user friendly, despite the CLI of ZFS is quite great.
One of Achilles' heel from ZFS, under my point a view, is the proper automation of the zfs send/receive. I was just looking this with your tool, and something like FreeNAS does: create a snapshot task and a send/receive task which takes the created snapshot and send it to tanother host, using the SSH keys.-
It seems at them moment send tasks are just a downloable gz file, isn't it? It would be great to let it point to another host's ZFS FS. Just a proposal, until then, I will just create some cront tasks, but managing rotation and retention of the snaps on both nodes are quite complex.

Did you consider that?
