I think you need to reserve some small space on all the drives (and with 3TB drives you can afford to sacrifice a few MB), use the remainder as your RAID, and let the system put the boot partition in that reserved space on the primary drive (the one the BIOS sees as the boot drive).
I think using raid 1 (with the 1.0 header format) can work well for that. There can still grub issues with having a boot just work, but at least you have the stuff you need available.
