Is it really reasonable that it should take almost 48 hours to make the initial sync of a 2-disk RAID-1 that is 200Gb in size?

It sort of depends on the size of the disks.
If this is the first sync it can take quite a while, but as long as one of the disks is empty, when the sync started there is no ambiguity as to which is more current, etc, and you can run right thru the sync.
I'm not sure which one, but when an array is first assembled, one disk is assumed to be the valid copy, the other is assumed to be empty.
