Yup, my personal setup involves 2 ZFS pools of 3 drives each in RAIDZ1, 2 NVMe drives partitioned up using LVM. Each pool gets a partition on each of the NVMe drives for a read cache. The primary/larger pool gets a partition that is mirrored across the 2 NVMe drives as a log/write cache. The system has 64GB of ECC DDR4 and a 10Gbe NIC. As far as I could tell, there was exactly 1 motherboard that actually allowed for this setup (2 full speed NVMe, ECC support, AMD4 socket), so it was not easy, but you can do it!
This is my 4th NAS iteration, so I've worked out exactly how I want it over the course of about 10 years. Partial parts list here: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/chiefnoah/saved/CxjNyc https://pcpartpicker.com/user/chiefnoah/saved/CxjNyc
