ZFS without ECC is no better or worse than any other filesystem without ECC, in that silent data corruption is possible. It is for this reason just a lot worse than ZFS with ECC, introducing a fault condition normally not seen on ZFS.
But that fault condition does not go away because you chose to skip ZFS due to no ECC. And you will get a lot of other problems on top that ZFS would have helped against, even without ECC.
Lastly, you'll end up back in the horrible land of static partitioning schemes with questionable tooling. Why suffer through that if you do not have to?
