No. That just makes it so that if you have a failure you won't be able
to boot, which kind of defeats the point of having a RAID array. Make
your /boot partition a RAID1 partition right off the bat. That is so you
can tell GRUB to boot from any of the drives. You can choose RAID10
directly for the rest of your drive with the 5.4 installer.
