The only real downside of md RAID is that if you lose the boot device

the primary boot drive and are comfortable with recovering from that
situation before you go into production with md.
+1
I usually ensure there is a separate /boot that is setup RAID1 (with md
using all the disks for the RAID1 - so the I can keep the partition map
the same for all the disks, otherwise it is fiddly!)
