But, as with the old adage "RAID is not backup", don't forget that ZFS is not a backup either.
ZFS has bugs like any other codebase, and metadata corruption will make your whole pool unrecoverable. RAID-Z and block checksums won't save you from that.
I speak from personal experience with ZFS. Backups are important, no matter what filesystem you use.
