For one, because of the fact that you can't add an extra disk to your pool if you need to. GP is saying "plan better", no need to get snarky.

  What do you mean? I've done this not so long ago on my pool. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/530968/adding-disks-to-zfs-pool https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/530968/adding-disks...

    You can't add disks to a vdev, though, which is what most people with a home NAS (including me) want.

      You can add them to RAID0/1 vdevs; you can't add them to RAIDZ vdevs. Which you don't have if you don't run ZFS. You might have RAID5, but then you also have a write hole.
