Maybe there is a good reason for this, but I'm going to challenge it.

To cite man mdadm:

       -c, --chunk=
              Specify chunk size of kibibytes.  The  default  when
              creating an array is 512KB.  To ensure compatibility
              with earlier versions, the default when Building and
              array  with no persistent metadata is 64KB.  This is
              only meaningful for RAID0, RAID4, RAID5, RAID6,  and
              RAID10.

So, actually there's a mismatch with the default of mdadm an mkfs.xfs. Maybe it's worthwhile to think of raising the log stripe maximum size to at least 512 kiB? I don't know what implications this could have, though...
