Grub should support MD RAID 0/1/4/5/6 and 10. Though there's the same question about its limitations and whether it's not similar to LVM support where we know that an update in metadata format (e.g. adding new items or changing the order of metadata items) can cause grub to not recognize the volume anymore (since grub expects the metadata to be in predefined and static form that doesn't change its layout in future). There may be missing sanity checks too, like CRC checking in case of LVM etc. I'm not sure about LVM on MD at the moment. It depends on whether grub supports device stacking. If grub supports iterative device/metadata recognition, then yes, it's possible.
