Dunno about the "in the same manner" part, but most (all?) Linux journalling file systems allow the journal to be on a separate device (eg, a/different SSD), and can also be configured for various levels of journalling (eg. what exactly gets sent to the journal before the main media). And this is very old news.

Undoubtedly ZFS adds its own twists there, but.. smile
