only if you are doing "grub2-install /dev/sda; grub2-install /dev/sdb" or 
whatever are
your drives because if not and the one disk with the bootloader dies you have 
not
a bootable system which perverts the goal of a raid-system

that's why you should always test if your setups are working like expected
in case of RAID1 /boot by remove one disk, look if it boots, resync raid
after connect the removed disk and then the same for the other one

in case of RAID10 setups i have on all 4 disks a /boot RAID1 and on every disk 
is grub
installed and this makes sure that it does not matter which disk dies which is 
hardly
important in case of remote systems

and if you refresh GRUB at any time with grub2-install also do not forget the 
other disks
