I currently have a secondary pool (with raidz2) that I was originally going to use for my important documents, such as storage for Paperless-ngx, as raidz offers corruption detection and repair. The pool is encrypted.

However, I’m concerned about rebuild times (it’s a pool of 4 22TB drives). Is btrfs a better choice for this use case, or should I just go with raidz like I originally planned?

    I would absolutely not trust BTRFS’s implementation. Maybe things are better now but it earned the backronym Bro The RAID Fuckin Sucks for a reason.
