Or a RAID array when setting up LVM on top of it, correct?

Yes, which is what I believe I added above.

So on a system where there will never be any disks added or partitions
resized, is the extra complexity (abstraction) worthwhile?

How about recovering from a disk failure? Does this layer above RAID
complicate the process of rebuilding an array?

Thanks,
