Swapping disc in a mirror as backup solution? (zerobytes.monster)

Weird idea I've been bouncing around recently is to install my OS onto a mirrored zpool made of 4 disks. Once a week with the PC powered off, I would pull a disc to put into storage as a backup, insert a replacement disk, turn the PC back on, and import the new disk. I figure I could have about 8 spare disks that I rotate through. I'd do incremental backups to a USB stick and a cloud provider for my daily backups.

The goal is a backup solution that's as close to plug and play as possible and to have my complete OS with programs and settings ready to go in case of PC failure.

Any adjustments I need to make to this idea, or is it dead in the water?
