Is LVM stable, or can it cause more problems than separate raids on a array.

[description of street smart raid setup]

(The same function could probably be achieved with logical partitions
and ordinary software raid levels.)

So, now decide for your own, if you consider LVM stable - I would ;)

Have you lost any disc (i.e. "physical volumes") since February? Or lost
the meta-data?

I would not recommend anyone to use LVM if they are less than experts on
Linux systems. Setting up a LVM system is easy: administrating and
salvaging the same, was much more work. (I used it ~3 years ago)
