I would use PAR2 for this. It's not the most integrated approach to dealing with bitrot like ZFS, but it feels much more composable - very Unix-like in a sense. PAR2 has one job (protect against bitrot with sidecar parity files) and does it well, and so does ext4 (store files without losing everything).

I certainly wouldn't use btrfs. It ate my data at one point, and misbehaves without any provocation. I don't trust it, and am quite vocal about that whenever it's mentioned.
