2.3 is intentionally unstable. Don't do this unless you want to help kernel
development with reports of a badly messed up array :)

Use -ac, it has working RAID.

-ac2 will work with the IDE patch you mention. I'd say that's the way to go.
AFAIK there are no major issues with -ac2 compared to -ac3 for most systems. (You could
check out Alan's changelogs)

Me neither. Wait for 2.2.14-acX, which will (most likely) also have the 0.90
RAID code in it. There'll probably be an IDE patch for 2.2.14 shortly after it's
release.
