RAID redundancy is great for keeping data available while you repair failures or expand your storage. Though given the relatively small size of SSDs, the restore time from backup isn't that long. I'd still go with jbod to get the most space from the SSDs and restore from backup when/if it fails. I back up daily to other NAS, so raid redundancy is a convenience for me, but not a necessity.
RAID-5 will of course work with SSDs, so there is no reason to think your approach won't work. Either way, it would be good if you post back on your results.
