Yes, I have two "120Gb" SSDs in a RAID-1 /dev/md0 for the root FS here.

Rpi4 is able to boot only from SD card, but telling the kernel root=/dev/md0 works just fine.

The worst thing with Rpi4's USB is the use of buggy VIA VL805 chip. Hopefully, upcoming new board (one with 8 Gb RAM) would have VL817 instead...
