What about RAID?

Indeed!

I'm contemplating buying a new phone, and I notice that the latest ones support up to 2TB micro (let me say that again ... MICRO!) SD cards!

Yes, if it uses SDXC cards (whatever physical outline) then the standard allows up to 2TB on those cards. Many cameras could have that capacity as well when those size cards become available.

Lots to lose in one go.

I would never trust one single card with all my photos. Although, a RAID array configuration using 3 micro SD cards sound compelling. It might increase write speed a bit, and if one fails, you can replace it with another, and the array will rebuild itself.
