I believe ECC RAM protects against RowHammer, doesn't it? That would be reason enough to get it.

It mitigates. IIRC DDR4 also mitigates. With both at least I'm pretty sure RowHammer is not a security problem anymore, and maybe even the risk of crashing disappear completely (or have an extremely small probability)
