It was a MacStadium (https://www.macstadium.com) build server, so most likely non-ECC.

Strange that build services are not just going full ECC, especially with cheaper hardware now supporting it.
Says it's a Mac/iOS build platform. Since it's a commercial service they're probably complying with the license and thus using actual Mac hardware, and in turn the only ECC option is the really awful value, outdated Mac Pro. Seems more likely they're using Minis instead, or at least mostly Minis. An unfortunate thing about Apple hardware (says someone still nursing along a final 5,1 Mac Pro for a last few weeks).
Aha! I had totally forgotten about that. Solid point, thank you.
