Targetting the linux-lts package as a dependency instead of linux should reduce the impact of this issue

You can install the specific older version of the Linux package that the zfs package needs. You can also pin it so it won't get updated by regular upgrades.

Is there lts kernel support for zfs-linux? I found I had to switch to the lts kernel on an Arch gaming rig because of issues with Nvidia drivers.

There is zfs-linux-lts for that.
