Let's rewind for a second... TrueNAS is actively complaining about disks attached via USB now? I missed that development. Not that I have a problem with it, if you think SATA DOMs are expensive, wait till you see the prices on industrial USB flash drives.
We've been discouraging "USB flash sticks" specifically for a while in the installer.
The majority of this is about endurance and reliability of the underlying device, not as much the USB interface itself (although a lack of SMART and weird quirks with USB bulk storage protocol do factor in here) - but if all you have is a USB port, you're far better off with a USB-to-SSD adapter of your choice than you are a generic $5 thumbdrive.
