You already have /var as a separate file system so that would make no sense. I suppose jld suggestion what just an (probably non functional) example showing how to create a new file system for a given directory. It wasn't at all something that directly apply to a critical system directory like /var.

would that cause any problems or lost data?
No immediate loss of data as the old dataset would still keep its content but, assuming it succeeded, it would have crashed and rendered your system unusable as it substitutes /var by an empty directory. Even if properly done, it would have make your system not upgradeable as live upgrade expects /var to be part of a boot environment (like yours it is currently Solaris 10 update 8).

For the most part, I don't see what the problem with the current setup so most likely I will not be changing this.
That's a wise decision. There is actually no problem with your current setup.

update-rcconf-guide
UPDATE-RCCONF-GUIDE(8) Debian GNU/Linux UPDATE-RCCONF-GUIDE(8)
NAME
update-rcconf-guide - Create default guide file for rcconf
SYNOPSIS
update-rcconf-guide
DESCRIPTION
Update-rcconf-guide creates the default guide file which rcconf uses.
Update-rcconf-guide searches the package names corresponding to each service file in /etc/init.d directory from dpkg info
files(/var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list) and get the description of these packages using apt-cache. Update-rcconf-guide uses Short-Description in
priority to the description if service files has Short-Description field. Update-rcconf-guide writes those results to
/var/lib/rcconf/guide.default file.
You can write your own guide in user guide file(/var/lib/rcconf/guide) by hand. Rcconf refers Guides in /var/lib/rcconf/guide before those
in /var/lib/rcconf/guide.default.
If you install some packages after executed update-rcconf-guide, you need to re-create this file using update-rcconf-guide so as to refresh
guide.default that includes new guides for installed new services.
Notice: update-rcconf-guide was not executed when you installed rcconf
package.
FILE
/var/lib/rcconf/guide.default
Guide File update-rcconf-guide generates.
/var/lib/rcconf/guide
Guide File user(Administrator) can define.
