Re: man mdadm regarding --assume-clean says it's OK to use with RAID1 or 10, when creating:

       "... It can also be used when creating a RAID1 or RAID10 if you want
to avoid  the  initial  resync ..."

       I'm wondering why namely those levels are chosen and not RAID5/6 for e. g.?

       I think it's also safe to use with RAID5/6, isn't it?

RAID1/10 don't have parity calculations whereas RAID5/6 do.
