When I setup my latest server, I used ZFS for the boot SSD.
I later added a 2nd SSD mirror, but of course that only mirrors the
rpool, not the boot partions (2 of them?), so not as useful as I
thought, as if the first SSD fails, the server won't boot :(
If I installed proxmox using mirrored SSD's from the start, would that
setup a "dual" boot option on both SSD's or would one still be the
primary and only boot device?

I tested this out, adding a 2nd ssd, server is using efi/systemdboot,
worked a treat. I even zapped and removed the first SSD, it still booted
fine.
Thanks!
