I noticed that when I used softraidtool to create a volume in the command line, that the GUI would only permit me to mount or unmount the volume, and would not permit me to delete it. Is that expected behaviour? (Not what I would have expected...)

Are you getting the message that volume cannot be deleted because Safeguard is enabled?
By default, Safeguard is enabled, it prevents accidental deletion of volumes.

No, when I create using the command line, safeguard is disabled by default.
roberson@Sandras-iMac ~ % softraidtool volume J3 create 200gb nonraid disk2
SoftRAIDTool status: Creating new volume: "J3".
SoftRAIDTool status: waiting for disk2 to finish (00:00:30)
Waiting for command to complete
Volume "J3" created successfully (disk74)

But my only menu items are unmount and disable journaling. If it were a matter of safeguard then there would be the menu entry to disable safeguard.

Dion't forget you need to quit/relaunch the SoftRAID Application after running any terminal commands. The Application does not know what you do outside of it. So you need to quit and run SoftRAID again to observe changes.
