Filesystem checkpointing/snapshotting is one of the nice things about ZFS.

If the OS supports ZFS on boot drives, you can do checkpointed full system/kernel upgrades.

I like your idea about process checkpointing. Of course any side effects (eventually we're only talking about network in/out) would be nonreversible, but would be theoretically replayable (have to checkpoint the RTC too). The other side of the connection might have other ideas...

Sounds like a dream debugging tool though.
