A 2013 N7 (though that's losing support very soon), a NVidia tablet (the newest one is a great performer, only $200), Asus ZenPad S 8 (or whatever it is -- the 2GB RAM variant is great for the price, though updates are iffy). The Nexus 9 gets updates, but its performance isn't the best, and people say the build is very bendy.

It's not just recent phones. This has been in use since at least the Xperia S, though back then you hardly lost anything by wiping it lol. I've been wondering for a while now if Sony could use eFuses (such as the qcom qFuse, seen very recently on the Nexus 6P) to store data, but I've yet to see any change. Perhaps with the Z6 line that launches with 6.0? You do not really need root to run a recovery, as it's the bootloader's (and until a few days ago, the boot image's) responsibility to boot it up, meaning you need to have your bootloader unlocked. (Unless we're talking of /system recoveries, but those are hacky workarounds at best.) A few years back there was a CM10 build that could run off the stock boot images, so people who had root but also had locked bootloaders could very easily run CM.
