Is ZFS safer with non-ECC RAM if you disable checksums?

I've heard about the Scrub of Death. However one can disable checksumming in ZFS datasets. If so, will that make the situation safer for a system that's not using ECC RAM? I'm not thinking of a NAS or anything like that - more of a workstation deployment with a single drive just to use the ZFS volume management and snapshots (and no need for fsck) benefits. I don't want to use redundancy even. Will a bad memory location still completely destroy my storage if I disable ZFS checksums?
