Can I unmount the connected and mounted array and just unplug the array

The machine will survive and detach the device correctly but yet-unwritten data will be lost.

He said he'll unmount it first, so presumably that should avoid most
data loss?

Ah... missed that line.

I suppose if you're in the middle of a RAID resync, or
just ran fdisk or fsck or similar, you could still have unflushed
data.  Does that mean that hot-unplug is not recommended, and one
should always do warm-unplug instead?

If you have unmounted and none of fdisk/fsck/RAID resync or anything similar is running (which is true most of the time), hot unplugging is just fine.
