That's good and lucky for you.

Not seeing corrupted data also doesn't mean there wasn't any corruption,
it could simply mean that the data in question wasn't used or overwritten
before being read again.

In the handful of scrub errors I ever encountered there was one case where
blindly doing a repair from the primary PG would have been the wrong thing
to do.

Nobody (well, certainly not me) suggested to use BTRFS, especially with
Bluestore "around the corner".

Just pointing out that it has the necessary checksumming features.
