Doing software raid, I would mirror the system partition across all drives, and also install grub on all drives. That way, if a drive disappears, the system will still boot from the first available drive. Snag is, if anything changes boot-wise, you need to make sure it gets mirrored across all drives. As far as I know the Grub2 version of openSUSE can boot from a /boot ext4 filesystem with RAID 1.
But I am not sure, if the server continues to boot, if the first drive is available, but not working correctly (disk errors). Probably yes. A RAID1 system partition is no problem.
