I am using RAID for more then 7 years now in past 4 years I've upgraded the server to a new one with faster CPU and setup the on top of the RAID crypted (luks) with LVMs on it. I also use NFS to mount those partitions on other linux hosts and I already had to exchange one disk because of failure. There is no performance impact worth to mention and in general no issues with this. On my notebook I can't do raid, but crypted+LVM is fine. On the server I encrypt everything except boot+root, as on power failure it will reboot and I don't need to give a password to get ssh running. After I get the system up and running again I login and run a script to decrypt, mount and run the rest. I was planning to put ssh into the initram, so that I can encrypt also the root system, but it was too much work for my current needs.
