One of original developers of ZFS was interviewed and asked about the "Scrub of Death", he said that ZFS doesn't fail in that way. ZFS is no worse than any other file system when running on a system without ECC. If there is a time bomb, then it exists for all file systems running on computers without ECC. As this one of multiple backups for the system, the risks are acceptable. If you have an actual failure method that makes ZFS worse, I'd love to see the details. Then I could publish a paper and be "Internet famous."
