Is it worth getting consumer AMD chips and motherboards to use with ECC memory?

After reading from different posts that 1 bit memory errors are fixed but 2 bit memory errors are not fixed but they are only reported while using consumer grade CPUs and motherboards with ECC memory, I am wondering if I should continue with my build or whether I should change it to support the full ECC experience.

Currently, the CPU I am going for is the Ryzen 7 5700X and the motherboard is the Asrock B550M Pro4. I’ve already bought everything except the CPU and the motherboard: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GysckJ

Is there a comparable alternative which makes full use of unbuffered UDIMM ECC memory and is it worth it? Or is there a different type of ECC RAM and setup that would work better for a server build? Thank you.
