Hi, We run few hundred HDD OSDs for our backup cluster, we set one RAID 0 per HDD in order to be able to use -battery protected- write cache from the RAID controller. It really improves performance, for both bluestore and filestore OSDs. We also avoid expanders as we had bad experiences with them.

RAID0 mode being discussed here means several RAID0 "arrays", each with a single physical disk as a member of it. I.e. the number of OSDs is the same whether in RAID0 or JBOD mode. E.g. 12x physicals disks = 12x RAID0 single disk "arrays" or 12x JBOD physical disks = 12x OSDs.
