Well, if I'm going to install a new system with raid 5 or 6, my traditional knowhow says I have to install a separate /boot replicated on each disk,
No need for that - provided you have sufficient redundancy grub will be able to find your /boot (and if you don't have sufficient redundancy, you're screwed anyway).
and run grub 3 or 4 times manually to install grub on all.
This is nothing to do with raid, and everything to do with having a bootable disk. You should always install grub on every disk that has (part of) your root partition. That way, it doesn't matter how many (or which) disks you lose, or whether your bios gets hopelessly confused about the disk discovery order, the first disk the bios recognises always has a valid bootloader. Once the bootloader is running, that can (try to) sort out the rest of the boot procedure.
