Good.

Not that I know of.

Since you got your data back it's moot .... but:

You couldn't add /dev/sdd1 because the raid superblock is at the end of the disk
- clearly readable though since it was read at startup.
The next thing would have been to force a recreation of the array using the new
disk.

Anyhow, glad you're sorted
