One option could be to not use UUIDs for mount md devices. md devices do not suffer from random name changes when devices config changes because they are named based on content rather than location. I realise that it might be more elegant to use UUIDs for everything, but if you are just after "practical", but don't bother with UUIDs to mount md arrays.
