[smartmontools-support] Shouldn't it be a super normal setup to let smartmontool automatically kick out a disk from a mdadm-raid?

Actually this is the job of mdadm to kick a failed drive out of an array.
There are mechanisms which do that. A failed drive then has the flag "F"
(failed) in the output of /proc/mdstats .
Smartmontools are for monitoring only, they don't manage a raid array.
