I've looked into RAID. It seems a bit complicated to use. Is it trivial to create a RAID array in Linux with zero fuss and the whole thing 'just working' with very little knowledge of the filesystem itself other than it keeps your data 'safe' and redundancy baked in?

Do you mean “use” or “setup”? RAID is trivial to use. Mount the volume to a directory and use it like normal. The setup is a bit more involved, but really not that bad. It’s a couple commands to join a few disks in an array and then you make a file system and mount it. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-raid-arrays-with-mdadm-on-ubuntu-16-04 https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-crea...
