SSDs would also require additional SATA (in my case) ports and a place to install the SSDs. I used all of those for the devices that are actually storing my data.
Because this is a "real" (headless) 2U server, none of the USB ports were being used so, while dedicated SSDs for the boot volume would be nice, a pair of decent 16 GB USB flash drives have been doing a wonderful job serving as my mirrored "freenas-boot" pool.
