As far as I understood from a plain graphical linux install:

1) NOT having a "/boot" partition, but having that on "/", will allow you to 
run RAID1 for "/" (and thus /boot)

2) HAVING a "/boot" partition will not allow you to make this RAID1.

What are the pro's for having a seperate /boot partition, if you were to 
create a root that is large enough for the basic OS and kernel?
