Zcash has a policy/protocol whereby, if a shielded pool is found to have been inflated by a bug, it may end up that legitimate coins within that pool can never be spent again.

That policy is encoded in the consensus (ZIP-209 / rule that the pool balance can never be negative).

Would you put your money there?

These are the things that the idiots promoting Zcash don't tell you.

And yes, there has already been a bug, although not exploited, that allowed coins to be counterfeited: CVE-2019-7167.

one question, there is an analysis on the AR cryptocurrency? knowing that odysee is changing its blockchain to arweave, I wonder if it's really worth it or if it's better not to touch it.

Better not to touch it.

Storage doesn't need a blockchain because a blockchain is a timestamp server that hashes a bunch of digital signatures which transfer ownership with non-repudiation.

Files can be transferred using BitTorrent or nostr using blossom servers. There's no reason to waste energy timestamping files when you can just timestamp a hash of the file using open timestamp.
