If RAID1 'works' also with one disk, it really sounds like a good idea.
If we do not mind using an empty /opt on an extra partition we can of

needed anyway in most cases.

Usually not, it should be added by scripts/DISKLESS_SERVER/10-setup.
Perhaps you forgot adding that class to the server?

Many thanks for your tests and comments!
