As to networking, yes even TCP/UDP have problems, especially when an intermediate router along your route has had checksumming turned off to speed up throughput. I discovered that a long time ago when I found I could safely download some things from work and not home, and vice versa. A network engineer filled me in on the practice.
Also, consumer grade memory is not parity checked anymore. The assumption is that errors are infrequent enough that no check is needed. The assumption is correct, for the most part.
As to PAR2 being used across the entire backup, perhaps someone will write an additional option to add that feature. I would appreciate it. The ability to recover an entire missing file would be fantastic.
