Not true. You can have N-way mirror and it will survive N-1 drive failures.

The limitations of RAIDZ performance do not come from CPU or RAM limitations, but by the underlying hardware. RAIDZ is limited to the performance of a single disk IOPS. 

CPU/RAM these days are so much faster than spinning disks or SSDs.
