I would certainly see the installer handling software RAID as a

From what I've seen on the net, to install and boot off RAIDed system
disks is quite fiddly (maybe gmirror is the exception here, as I've
mainly been looking at striping).

geom changed this complications definitely, using gmirror or gstripe commands
is easy as copying a file.
(Chuckles) - While I see your point, I see that Ralf E's article
discussing this very issue weighs in at about a page worth of
instructions for *each* of the two methods discussed. Now, sure, he's
being pedantically careful so no-one will misunderstand and murder their
systems - but ISTM that this is the sort of task that ideally an
installer could/should handle.
The argument of 'its only a few commands...' does not really stand up -
as (for instance) it could be equally applied to that installer
providing package installation - and it seems to have that facility
(thankfully!).
So in comparism
the easy use of geom is great and the people which developed geom did a
really fantastic job.
I agree, as the geom based applications are maturing, we are starting to
see that benefit of the geom infrastructure.
Cheers
Mark
