Would I be better off forgoing resiliency for simplicity, putting all my faith into the Equallogic to handle data resiliency?

IMHO, no; the resulting system will be significantly more brittle.

Exactly how brittle I guess depends on the Equallogic system.

If you don't let zfs manage redundancy, Bill is correct: it's a more fragile system that *cannot* self heal data errors in the (deep) stack. Quantifying the increased risk, is a question that Richard Elling could probably answer :)
