Well, perhaps I can try to convince you some more.
I never used LVM either, but ...
I used LVM once, until on a bright day the machine stopped working because
the LVM volume decided that it is "disabled" (Aparently each LVM volume
has a "disable" bit and some secret magic command to flip it). mdadm
software raid does not have any such disable bits so out with LVM,
back to mdadm software raid.
I won't claim it is perfect, but I personally have not had any issues
with it, and I have used it on dozens of machines for years.
BTW: nothing says you have to ditch MD in favor of LVM. In fact you can
put LVM on MD or vice versa.
