Is it really that simple? Wouldn't you run into problems with the repo being
modified while xcopy (which falls under "any backup software") is reading
from it?

Also, since there are many reports of svn repo backups becoming corrupted a
bit too easily, which has made many people test their backups automatically
or manually after a backup (see my previous post, for example), would you
attribute all these to ID-Ten-T Error?

Well, OP already suggested RAID 5. Would you care to elaborate as to why a
mirroring scheme would be better?
