I'm with you, but it's worth noting that errant bit-flips are also the most convincing argument for vertically integrated file-systems like ZFS and BTRFS.

- diarrhea 4y agoI was under the impression running such file systems without ECC was kind of reckless and not a solution either? I recall ZFS being “useless” (not technically entirely bulletproof) without ECC.

It's about as reckless as running any other filesystem without ECC [1]. In fact, you're much more likely to discover memory errors earlier if you use a checksumming filesystem than if you use a non-checksumming one.
