Having a mirror or better when OpenZFS, your BIOS, or KDE tells you "Hey, your disk is going bad." and being able to detach it before real corruption happens is a real data saver and takes a lot of worry away. When you only have the one disk start to go bad you go into Pucker Factor 9.99 with the worry of "Will my old disk fail when I'm trying to copy the data to the new disk?"
That piece of mind is worth pinning the kernel or using a distribution like CachyOS that provides ZFS modules. Also, thanks ptr1337 for giving a damn about OpenZFS and taking away the OpenZFS "sudo pacman -Syu" worry.
