Tried it. Decided for my needs that my Arch + ZFS based NAS is still the way to go.
At the end of the day it's critical data for me that while backed up to tarsnap would take a very long time to restore.
By just using ZFS and having regular scrubs etc scheduled properly I have very high confidence my array will always be online when I need it.
I could probably build a similar level of trust in another product but ZFS (Under OpenSolaris, then Illumos, then FreeBSD and finally Linux - all the same pool btw!) has earnt my trust over many years.
