Very unconvincing. The only point they bring up which actually precludes RAM-only servers is hard drive encryption, which they only need to do because they store data on a hard drive. The whole article reads like them trying to justify a choice they’ve already made rather than a legitimate comparison RAM-only versus hard drives.
Their first point is literally that RAM-only doesn’t help when the power’s on. That’s like saying you shouldn’t wear a seatbelt because it doesn’t protect against someone smashing your window. That’s just not what it’s for.
