The whole VG is lost ? Yes. A stripe-set depends on all of the members of an array, whether managed through MD or LVM. Thus, in a machine with two SSDs, which are striped together, the loss of *either* SSD will cause all of the OSDs hosted by that machine to be lost. (Note: if you want to use LVM rather than GPTs on MD, you will probably need to remove the '|dm-*' clause from the Ceph udev rules that govern OSD assembly before they will work as expected.)
