I've no objection. If it works for you -- go for it.

For me personally ZFS performance is good enough, and data integrity
verification is something that I'm willing to sacrifice some
performance for. ZFS scrub gives me either warm and fuzzy feeling that
everything is OK, or explicitly tells me that something bad happened
*and* reconstructs the data if it's possible.

Just my $0.02,
