Well, no, not really. It all depends on the number of sets and the MTTR.
Consider the case where you have 1 set of raidz3 and 2 sets of 3-way
mirrors.  The raidz3 set can only stand to lose 3 disks where the mirrored
sets can stand to lose 4 disks.  The answer is not immediately intuitive 
because it does depend on the MTTR for practical cases.
