These two "styles of mounting" are

/sbin/mount /filesystem - looks up fs parameters in /etc/fstab
/sbin/zfs mount dataset - looks up fs parameters in zpools

I don't think these two approaches can be unified. We surely
can modify mount_critical_systems to try entries from /etc/fstab
first, and if /sbin/mount fails, then try to find a zfs dataset
for the failed entry and /sbin/zfs mount it. But if things go
wrong, a complicated mounting process will make troubleshooting
harder. For that reason, I'd like to keep mountcrit_zfs separate
from mountcrit_local.
