ECC and zfs/btrfs I think are a must for any data you care about. RAID 1 isn’t going to save you when you can’t tell which copy of the given block is the corrupted one.
It completely depends on what your specific circumstances are, and something is always better than nothing.
(Also, you aren't getting ECC RAM at this price point, no matter what.)
What's a good use case for this? A house with a few laptops, a desktop and one server. Everything uses the server as their datastore. The server runs ZFS, but even ZFS can run out of luck, so you send over a snapshot to the backup device every day or three. It's insurance.
