Okay so when you say “unplug the power” do you mean shut it down first or just pull the plug? The latter is a great way to corrupt your storage pools as ZFS uses memory for read and write cache etc by default. You definitely need to do a graceful shutdown especially if there is data that was recently written to disk, that’s why a UPS is so recommended. That said you can usually import an existing pool when that happens, I think there is a UI menu for it now.
I do on some of mine because it makes some of the automation i have for them simpler to maintain when it is also applied to x86 hardware or virtual machines. It used to be a huge pain to use on a pi but it works pretty well these days, especially since about 24.04 I want to say.
