What is your use case where not having an ECC is critical? Assuming something related to complex calculations that cannot fail and takes a lot of time to process?
If you care about your data, you want ECC. If a bitflip happens in memory, zfs will for example, not catch the error and happily write out the corrupted file.

What is the probability of this happening on a home (not a datacenter) under normal conditions of temperature, radiation, etc?
