This is probably heavily dependent on the requirements you have on that server: - If you absolutely depend on data integrity, it's better to not boot it and drop you into a rescue shell. - If you absolutely depend on uptime and remote accessibility, bringing up a degraded RAID is the way to go. Not having physical access to my server myself, I much prefer the second one, but I do appreciate that it defaulting to the first alternative is a safer default. I would welcome if this was configurable, though.
