Google drive+ drive pool+ Cloud drive read only mode possible?

I currently have a setup using Google Workspace, StableBit DrivePool, and Cloud Drive.

I recently received notification from Google stating that I will no longer be permitted to exceed their allotted storage limit of 5TB. However, I am currently utilizing over 50TB of storage.

In just one month, my service with Google will be transitioned to read-only mode. Considering my familiarity with DrivePool, I am concerned about the potential for drive corruption if I continue using the service until I find a suitable alternative.

I need help to determine if my drive would be at risk of getting corrupted during this transitional period?

    I'm not familiar with these technologies, but I'm wondering what's your backup plan?

      My backup plan is to back them up. So I understand that I have to remove the drivepool and to then put the cloud drive into read only mode so that my files don't get corrupted. I will then migrate...

      I will then migrate everything to a NAS server using UnraidOS with ZFS file system.

      Got two CPU's to choose from, AMD 3000 and a G5420. However, due to costs of electricity, I'm thinking of going the AMD 3000 route because the idle wattage is low and I think I can bring it very low.
