Where is RAID support for High Sierra???

The OS has been out now for a while and I still haven't seen any news from supporting the upgrade from Sierra to High Sierra with computers that have RAID storage. I have dual SSD with RAID Storage on my MacBook pro which runs Sierra 10.12 and I have been researching a lot for the past few months from people asking the same question and most of the answers have been to just wait wait wait until there is a new update. It's now March 2018 and there has been no update on this issue...

It is starting to get to this point also that other softwares want me to update to the latest OS for best performance. Can someone please tell me if I have missed something? Is there an (easy) way to upgrade from Sierra to High Sierra and to maintain the RAID storage? I appreciate any help!

Thank you!

MacBook Pro, macOS Sierra (10.12.6), RAID storage

You do not need any special cloning software. You just need an external drive using the GUID partition schema and formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled. This drive will need a capacity slightly more than the total amount of used space on the RAID. This should work without problems. I have done this myself many times over the years with RAIDs and regular disks.

Clone El Capitan and Later Using Disk Utility

Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the Command and R keys until the Apple logo and progress indicator appears.
After the Utility Menu appears, select Disk Utility from the Utility Menu then press the Continue button.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Select Restore from the Edit menu of Disk Utility. A panel will drop down.
Select the source volume from the drop down menu in the panel.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.

Destination means an external drive. Source means the RAID startup drive.
