USB connected disks introduce new problems, like random disconnections.

RAID is overkill for home use. It also does not solve backups and snapshots. I use one way syncthing with unlimited history, plus usb-sata adapter.

Beware, ZFS often hangs on USB disconnections, forcing a reboot:

Yes for home use I prefer more computers with single disks each having one copy of the data than one with RAID.

That means you have no bitrot protection, in fact you’ve now increased that possibility.

What's your syncthing setup?

One way sync to couple of servers. Unlimited history in syncthing for backups.
