I've never had to replace a disc in an array with Postgresql running on it. LSI says I can replace the disc and do a rebuild while everything is running. I am of course concerned about data integrity/corruption.
This is the whole entire complete purpose you have a RAID card and hot-swap drives: To make it transparent to the layers above the disk interface.
