First, I'd start with the deadline scheduler.
Even for rotating rust systems you can improve performance quite a bit,
but with SSDs you might hit the limits way too early and need to tune it.
Save the current default values somewhere safe, so you can go back
easily, then start tuning these values (as a start):
for i in $(grep \^md /proc/mdstat |cut -d' ' -f 5-); do
DEV=${i:0:3}
echo deadline > /sys/block/$DEV/queue/scheduler
echo 4096 > /sys/block/$DEV/queue/nr_requests

echo 1000 > /sys/block/$DEV/queue/iosched/write_expire
echo 2048 > /sys/block/$DEV/queue/iosched/fifo_batch
done
At least setting these helped quite a bit.
