I plan to start with a hardware RAID (level 5) of one physical volume
and one volume group. Then create several logical volumes from it and
grow them each as they are needed pulling space from what's not used
in the volume group until all the space in the group eventually
utilized.
Is it reasonable to believe that such an arrangement is stable enough
that if anything were to ever go wrong a with an individual logical
volume that it wouldn't impact the other logical volumes in that same
volume group or the volume group itself?

We have used the above setup for years (one VG/many LV on top of
hardware RAID 5). It is stable for us.
