If someone new to ZFS wants to take 3 old (but reliable) disks and make a raidz2 configuration for testing, we would not consider this is a nonsensical idea. You can then apply what you learn about ZFS space allocation and redundancy to a new configuration.
"Nonsensical" may be a bit strong, but I can see no possible use case where a 3 disk raidz2 isn't better served by a 3-way mirror.
Of course many things that are terrible ideas in production become useful learning experiences ;-)
