What do you mean by "Using fewer than 4 disks in a raidz2 defeats the purpose of raidz2, as you will always be in a degraded mode" ? Does it means that having 2 vdevs with 3 disks it won't be redundant in the advent of a drive failure?
Technically a 3 disk raidz2 won't be degraded, so I'm not sure what he meant.
However a 3-way mirror will be much faster and equally reliable, so a 3 disk raidz2 doesn't make much sense.
