We run 48TB (after redundancy, 3 striped mirrors) over a USB enclosure (TerraMaster D6-320) and it's honestly not as bad as people say. The only failure this system experienced in the past few years was due to noisy power causing a reset, and the ZFS root (not the data pool) becoming read only due to a write hole caused by a consumer NVMe (Crucial P3 Plus) lying about being synced (who could've expected that).
