But the ZFS checksum mechanism should still be working to detect data
corruption, even though ZFS cannot recover the corrupted data the way it
otherwise would if redundancy was available.

Ahh, I see.  So to paraphrase, ZFS can detect checksum errors (data
corruption) using any pool type (single disk, mirror, raidz, whatever),
but can only *repair* the error when using a mirror or raidz.

I think that should be the case, yes.
