I just ordered some WD Reds and a Synology box a couple of days ago, not knowing about this issue. Should I cancel the HDDs and go for another brand, or will I be okay if I don’t use ZFS?

Not all WD Reds are affected, only certain ones. Check first to see whether the ones you ordered are SMR or not.
