> Isn't ksh93 the Illumos primary shell? Illumos would not boot without it?

Yes ksh is the main shell of illumos. For example, most of the svc services have a #!/sbin/sh as first line and
/sbin/sh --version display ksh93t+. In fact /sbin/sh is a symbolic link to ../usr/lib/x86/ksh


Try :

cd /lib/svc/method
grep '^#!/' * 

Most script are /sbin/sh
A dozen are /bin/ksh or /usr/bin/ksh some with -p options
One is /bin/bash

ksh is also used for RBAC when called as a profile shell /usr/bin/pfksh.

So ksh is a main component of Illumos.
