It's A Digital Disease!

I know disk management dynamic disks are deprecated. However, I've been using them for a while and it seems to work? I have 2 HDDs that are dynamic and mirrored via disk management. These are NOT os drives. Just data drives. I would like to find another newer solution. My questions are as follows:

1. What is the risk of continuing to use dynamic disks for disk mirroring? Why does Microsoft say not to use it if it works okay? Is it the other types of software RAID that are dangerous? Like parity, etc. Is just using it to mirror drives okay?
2. What should I use instead? Storage spaces? Motherboard hardware raid? Should I buy an external hardware raid module to use rather than the mobo one?

Thanks!
