I don't understand your "simply reboot into the mirror" comment. In a RAID 1, if one drive dies typically the machine stays up on the second drive, but goes into a mode where you can't write to the drive until you replace the second one.
That isn't at all how the Apple software(or the hardware RAID card) RAID works. One drive fails, array goes degradded, but is still fully functional. No restart needed either.
