To emphasise, using ECC RAM is another step that can be used to increase the integrity of your data.
It’s like security - it’s done in layers.
Using a checksumming filesystem without ECC RAM is an improvement on not using a checksumming filesystem at all. Do not consider ECC RAM to be a requirement for ZFS / BTRFS.
It does add another layer of improvement though, so if you can, you should!
And even if you can’t, and even if you can’t provide the redundancy to enable bitflips to be resolved, still use a checksumming filesystem if you can!
