Unfortunately you can't specify a metadata type via kickstart for md devices - so that's still a show-stopper for using RHEL7.3 on an E850.
As a work-around to allow RAID during install, i've had to specify /boot as a btrfs partition, which worked perfectly fine.
Still - this isn't exactly an ideal solution for anyone using an E850 with RHEL 7.3... The customer i'm building out for isn't prepared to use RHEL 7.4 yet.
