There are a few oddities but it seems usable now. It's now rebuilding the
RAIDs for a few hours.

Yes. It's just a (good or bad) habit to create the / apart...

It seems good to me (you have no need for logical partitions, but it
won't hurt either).

You have already a probleme with udev here. Should try to (re)install
it.

Huu ? modprobe not found ? It's strange, since modprobe is a vital
command with a modular kernel...
Try also to (re)install it.

Hangs ? Not really hanged, I suppose ?
You should be able to play with busybox, right ?
Could you restart d-i and try to purge and reinstall the kernel ?
You are using debian stock kernel, right ?
It will re-generate the initrd, which I suspect lacks some essential
modules...
If you have flashed an old initrd without raid support, for example,
or without ext3 support in it, it's not surprising that the kernel
can't find the root device without support to deal with it...
By redoing it, you should finish with an inirtd specially crafted with
the modules you need to boot.
(NB: It exists also the mkinitramfs command to redo just the initrd.
Feel free to try it, but you will need to take a shell in the context
of d-i, which is perhaps a bit involved for now.)
