That's leaving a lot of performance and features on the table, IMO. We
definitely want to have metadata and small files using mirroring
(perhaps even three copies for some metadata). Use RAID[56] for large
files. Perhaps even start files at RAID1, and have the scrubber convert
them to RAID[56] when it notices they are only ever read. Keep
temporary or unimportant files at RAID0. Play games with asymmetric
setups (small fast disks + large slow disks). etc etc etc.
Delegating things to MD throws out a lot of metadata so these things
become impossible.
