I had a similar experience. Lost close to 9 yrs of photos and my wedding photos. I eventually got them back via a similar method as author. It took me a year to go through them all. After that experience I fully went to the cloud. The cause was a REFS mirror deciding to “mirror” my corrupt drive to my working drive. Great job MS. I also stopped using Microsoft for my raid stuff.

REFS has an option for integrity checking, which (unfortunately) might be off by default.

Yes I forget if it was on or not. You are correct. On the Windows OS (not server) you have to run a command to enable it. I will never forget the feeling I had watching the space on my good drive dropping precipitously as it was wiped away into “oblivion.”
