I don't think forcing the code to use smaller recordsize is a good idea. 
Considering the hard limit on metadata size (16 GB max), 64K chunks are 
good for ~16 TB thin pool - already relatively small.

A, say, 16K recordsize would be good for a 4 TB pool only, an so on. 
Moreover, sequential performance will significantly suffer.

I think you have to accept the performance hit on first chunck 
allocation & rewrite.
