I would say that. You can use ZFS if you want to. As i said: It´s stable on Linux and I use it as well. But the memory footprint is a bit higher as ZFS makes heavy use of memory for caching and so on. Without dedup you should be fine with 32 GB of memory although more is better. Since your backup are more streaming I/O you can use slow and big disks, i.e. 9x 5 TB in a RAID6 (RAIDZ2) config or 10x 5 TB in a RAIDZ3 config with three parity disks. There are several options with ZFS. Let me know if you want to know something more.
