For one example, ZFS checksums spot all manner of erratic, intermittent idiocies--memory corruption, data bus corruption, disk controller corruption, etc.

No other filesystem even tries.

Would that work also if I had only a single big drive? Say, divide the space on the drive into 2 parts and let ZFS use those parts as RAID1 disks?
