Is multipath essential on Server 20.04?

[R C]

multipath is needed for (optimizing) io when there are virtual storage 
devices that use multiple hardware/actual devices (hence multipath), for 
example when you are using lustre, scality, san, jbod, ZFS or 'any array'

since you are using ZFS, in/on an array, it would be a good idea to use it.

You don't NEED to use it, it only makes io more efficient and probably 
faster.

Also, you can shut down some of the cores on your RPI cpu, you DON'T 
really need those either.
