My system sometimes detects a few bitflips per day.

Perhaps you should replace your RAM, or it's a sign that you have a massive source of radiation lurking somewhere?

I assumed this is just normal in DDR5 and the reason I only had motherboards with ECC to choose from. I do have quite a lot of it.

It wouldn't be the first time engineers pushed something close to the unreliability limit and compensated with a mechanism to make it more reliable.
