Yes you can upgrade. My recommendation on all macOS upgrades is remove external storage first. Always a good practice.

One thing i'm really curious about is if it's possible to safely upgrade to Mac OS Sonoma without having problems with my Thunderbay. Especially now that i had this problem after connecting it to the Macbook running Sonoma of my girlfriend. There will bee a point in time in the near future i need to upgrade.

The SoftRAID user interface updates in real time, so yes, this is totally normal.

Every time i start Softraid, It says in the software tab that the RAID is degraded and there is 4 missing disks. It only lasts 1 seconds and then it returns to normal. I managed to take a quick screenshot. Is this ok?

Note: Validate ensures all the data on the volume was readable, and that all parity data has been updated (with flash data it is normal for parity blocks to be updated, because of how TRIM works, whereas on HDD's you will generally never see updated parity blocks after your first validate)
I mention this as a reminder that validate cannot "fix" any volume, directory, etc issues. Those are from MacOS. what parity data does is ensure if a disk fails, the volume will behave the same as before the problem. If there was a Mounting issue, it will still be there.

You can use your volume in the meantime, in case you did not know. But do not restart, unlike rebuilds, validate does not survive a restart.
