What do you think about buying second hand disks and using higher redundancy?
For example 4x 16TB in RAIDz2? Is anyone using something like that? How’s it performing, reliability-wise?

Like everyone else I’d be skeptical of used disks. I’d also go for a larger array than 4 drives to have less of it redundant. Like 6+2 or 5+3 instead of 2+2.
