The question is: what's missing currently to prevent kicking drives from md arrays at all? And I really mean preventing _both_ first failed drive (before start of resync) and second failed drive?
Crank up the timeout settings a lot might help (I use 180 seconds), it would probably have stopped the first drive from being kicked out.
But you really should be running RAID6 and not RAID5 (as you now have observed) to handle the failure case you just observed.
Write-intent bitmap would have stopped the initial full resync of the drive that was kicked out, which might have helped as well.
