Well, too late, I already said it again since you asked. Do you have a better solution? It's ok not to like this solution, but do you have a better one?
There is an alternative to hardware RAID if you want a Linux RAID: you can disable UEFI in the BIOS and delete the ESP as I did when I bought my gaming PC several years ago.
I created my software RAID level 5 using debian-installer and it works perfectly without ESP, you have to choose "Expert install" in "Advanced options". I installed Bookworm when it was released in this way.
