But seriously, when you need a /boot partition, it is only as useful

This is true. In this particular case, I wanted the boot partition to
survive if the data disks survived. Kinda annoying to have the data
disks survive, but have to rebuild the system because the / or the /boot
paritions didn't survive.
With 500GB drives, an extra 200MB partition hardly matters, while it
will save me a lot of headaches should one or two drives fail (assuming
it's the right drives, and the data partition is still there).
I didn't think you were duplicating / across all 4 in the layout you
proposed. Thus the questions about putting /boot there. If your /boot
doesn't work you can always boot the install cd in rescue mode to fix it
but there's not much you can do about a missing /.
