I obviously don't agree with you on that. In my expirience a cheap 
RAID-Controller is in the end more costly than a good/expensive one. For 
this reason I settled with SW-Raid (for low-end testing, deployment 
testing,  crash-recovery testing, ...) where no good Controller is 
covered by the budget.
SW-Raid is well tested and supported OOTB by the Linux-Kernel.

I don't see any big problems in adding mdadm to the initrd except for 
the kernel-package[0] itself. Up to this point I didn't manage to build 
an unmodified (!) pve-kernel-package.
I understand there will be a release this week, so I would appreciate 
the next kernel-source-package to be more buildable (and/or instructions 
to set up a working build-environment).

Best Regards,
gregor
