<begin friendly infodump>

It does not *need* to be ECC ram, ECC is just *highly recommended*. As
one of the key features of zfs is bitrot prevention, it makes sense to
protect against bitrot everywhere. Zfs (and thus freenas) is just fine
with non-ecc ram. Just, like for any filesystem if the bit is flipped
in ram it will be recorded as such on disk.

And 8 GB is probably a safe minumum without tuning, but there are
sufficent tunnables to do ~4 GB easily.

This is not saying that you are incorrect about best practice, I am
just picking nits since ECC and minium RAM are can be one of the more
sensitive topics for ZFS-enthusiasts.
