Do you think this will get you more availability compared to a simple mirror? I'm curious as to why you would want to do this.

This configuration will survive the failure of one drive in either RAIDZ *plus* the failure of any number of drives (or the whole mirror) in the other. That may or may not be valuable enough to choose, but it will survive more failures than just a mirror.
