With a safety (no idea how you write this) backplane, a disk shelf can
communicate with the SCSI card and physically turn off a failed disk for
instance.

Did something change? The raidzone Smartcans we have
are just nice packages for ATA drives so you can do software raid.
One ATA controller per drive, with nice slim hot-swap carriers.

Correct.
Note that depending on the Raid card and the distribution, you may not be
able to boot on it without bootstrapping your
