Except that SSDs will mainly fail due to the amount of write cycles they had
to endure.
So in RAID-1 your SSDs will fail at almost the same time.
With for example 8 OSDs in a server you better spread them out 50/50 over
two SSDs.
But the OS should be installed on SSD, to allow the use of the whole
SATA/SAS disk as OSDs.
Without RAID-1 between SSDs, a disk failure will result it the whole node down.

True. You might want to use a small internal USB stick like those from
Transcend for installing your OS. They are available in 4GB and 8GB.
Let syslog handle your logging to an external device and you have almost
no write I/O on that thing.
This way you can use the SSDs completely for journaling and shrink them
using HPA with hdparm.
Still, I think that in the distributed nature it shouldn't matter if you
loose a node. If loosing a node is a to big impact to your cluster, go
with smaller nodes.
