ECC ram is definitely a consideration. I've appreciated having it when it was around. The needs of each homelab can be different though. Some homelabs don't need to be that serious from a power/noise/energy cost perspective just to get ECC, unless there is an explicit benefit from it. Making do without ECC can be perfectly possible for some or most portions of a homelab.
