RAID is definitely your best bet of ensuring data retention, but even that isn't always fool proof.

I'm not sure I'd pick RAID for any kind of data retention in home use... As the old saying goes, RAID is not a backup, and for a good reason. Helps a bit though, but with ransomware and other nonsense, I wouldn't trust RAID. Of course this coming is someone with no backup solution at all (too lazy to do anything about it so far, will probably be really sorry about it later)...

You can use RAID to mirror drives.

Doesn't really matter if the price was inflated or not. Anyone that was eyeing the 3070 class wasn't cross shopping with a 6800 because that was a higher tier of gpu class along with a higher price even at launch and not to mention it was an unicorn that was more unobtainable than a 3080 because of how limited in stock it was. And during the crypto boom, upgrading to a higher class wasn't $80 more, it was more like several hundred dollars more.

These days it's different because everything is in stock and RDNA 2 has had massive discounts below their MSRP. So the situation these days is a lot different but those days, I think the 3070 was a valid choice given the alternatives.

Current prices, the 3070 vs 6800 is a valid comparison.

The 6750XT 12GB is a good 20-25% cheaper than the 3070 currently... I would still grab one of those instead.
