You could make a zfs clone of a given filesystem, do the operation to the clone and then promote the clone to be the master to effectively have this. If I understand correctly the promotion operation is atomic I don't think it would be possible to see an intermediate state.

This said you couldn't have multiple operations in flight at once for the same dataset.
