Last time I checked. The ECC vs non-ECC price difference was not worth the
time you may spend in case of a RAM bitflip.
Here, we put ECC RAM in our build systems and I guess it's quite the
industry standard.

It is also possible that Yocto does some kind of CRC checking of its own

Yocto does source integrity checks (the stuff it downloads from the
internet) but it can't do much more after that.

I've yet to debug a RAM bitflip but I guess it may trigger any kind of
weird behavior which may be hard to debug and time consuming.

My advice is : keep your time and sanity, use ECC RAM.
