ZFS is RAM hungry, plus doesn't like USB connections (like the article implied). So, I've been eyeing btrfs as a way to setup my NAS drives. Would I miss something in that setup?

Also ZFS is perfectly happy with USB connections. In fact it's the best type of FS to have if your storage is unreliable due to its self healing capabilities. Not that modern USB is unreliable nowadays and there are plenty of DAS solutions that rely on 3.x USB.
