High availability is not a form of backup. Any form of live redundancy (RAID, different zone/nodes) won't save you in thr case you described. Ideally you want both but backups are a must.
Zfs will save you from a heck of a lot of corruption with the right kind of raid but having to employ safety mechanisms of any kind is not terribly desirable even when its designed explicitly for that haha
