I have one 12 TB and two 14 internal hard drives. I also have 6 external drives (two 12 TB, four 14 TB) for 2x redundant backups. All my new stuff and dynamic documents are stored on the 12 TB drive (so that I only have to update the backups for that drive frequently). When it gets fullish I migrate content over to the storage drives and update those backups. I've been doing this maybe twice a year.
I also have my dynamic files, photos, docs etc, set to auto backup twice daily to a remote backup.
I only delete content to replace with higher quality.
I haven't bothered with any sort of raid in nearly two decades. You need proper backups regardless so what's the point? If I have to run half my Plex library off a USB backup drive for a week while a new drive runs badsector and syncs up... who cares? Merging the drives as a JBOB is nifty and all, but adds complexity across the board without meaningful gain.
