Any point in backing up or redundancy for this? (alien.top)

Hey guys. Im using jellyfin to watch movies on my server and im looking at getting a 8tb hdd to start off. I was wondering if it would be stupid to have no redundancy because I kinda figured it would be pointless to me since if the drive was to fail I could just retorrent the movies again? My OS (proxmox) is on a 500gb nvme ssd.

I am collecting hard to find art house stuff. So I have redundancy, but no backup. If your collection is easy to redownload I totally would use the interwebs as my backup.
