The article tells you that if you don’t need ECC memory, bitrot as a risk isn’t that important to you. It is clear that you don’t want to pay for that kind of safety so. So if bitrot isn’t that important, you can go with any other file system, or ZFS but don’t pretend you’re covered. I would rather run XFS or EXT4 with ECC memory than ZFS without ECC because silent bitrot is extremely rare because drives and protocols are full of error correction stuff. Memory is the real weak spot from a bitrot perspective. ECC first. ZFS second.
