Nope,
I'd like my bank data to be stored on a system that does ECC, no question.
But please, on hard disk level (RAID; that is _permanent_), not in the
RAM of a single node.
If memory gets corrupted, please, raise a kernel panic... Even if
there's ECC in place.
Counter question:
Would you like your bank account data to be stored on a medium where one
failure can be corrected, two can be detected, but three go unnoticed?
How unlikely is that, if you've got some hardware that is really /broken/?
I know this is a rather random thing to happen.
Still, I think ECC memory is overrated. Better have it fail immediately.
_With a kernel panic, please_

Following your rationale you want your bank account data
silently be corrupted by hardware with bit errors? Be my guest, give
me ECC any day.
Proper hardware will log the ECC errors, a proper OS tailored to that
hardware will log and notify the sysadmins.
That is how it should be done.
