How to replace a disk in a non-redundant ZFS pool?

I’ve been doing a bit of reading, and it looks like ZFS doesn’t like disks being removed from non-redundant arrays:

You can use the zpool detach command to detach a device from a mirrored storage pool. For example:

# zpool detach zeepool c2t1d0

However, this operation is refused if there are no other valid replicas of the data. For example:

# zpool detach newpool c1t2d0
cannot detach c1t2d0: only applicable to mirror and replacing vdevs

The basic problem is understandable: removing the only copy of a piece of data (whether metadata or payload data) from an array would render that data unavailable.

The examples for replacing devices in a ZFS storage pool give a basic step-by-step description for how to replace a device in a storage pool: offline the disk, remove the disk, insert the replacement disk, run zpool replace to inform ZFS of the change and online the disk. This obviously requires that the array does not depend on the disk being replaced, hence the array must have redundancy; if it does depend on the drive in question, this approach presents the same problem as above.

What is the recommended way of replacing a disk in a non-redundant ZFS array?

Assume that the existing disk is working properly, and assume that the replacement disk is at least the same size as the disk being replaced. (If the existing disk has failed, clearly all one could do is add a new disk and restore all files affected by the disk failure from backup.)
