I don't know what the failure mode ends up being, but on linux I had no
problems creating what appears to be a massively redundant (but small) array

md0 : active raid1 sdo1[10](S) sdn1[8] sdm1[7] sdl1[6] sdk1[5] sdj1[4] sdi1[3] sdh1[2] sdg1[9] sdf1[1] sde1[11](S) sdd1[0]
       896 blocks [10/10] [UUUUUUUUUU]

Good point, also if you had Raid 1 with 3 drives with some bit errors at least you can take a vote on whats right. Where as if you only have 2 and they disagree how do you know which is right other than pick one and hope... But whatever it will be slower to keep in sync on a heavy write system.
