RAID-Z is not at all like RAID-1E. RAID-Z uses the same basic data and
parity distribution as RAID-5 with atomic writes and checksums and
other "magic" to ensure that there are no write holes.

RAID-Z2 is RAID-Z with double parity data similar to RAID-6. RAID-Z3 is
RAID-Z with triple parity data.

RAID-1E is a striping + mirroring mechanism where data stripe mirrors
are distributed across the other devices in the set.
