The difference isn't that big though. Sure with software RAID you write 1GB to a 8 disk RAID6 you write 8/6 x 1GB = 1.33GB. But with RAID offload you nearly double the NVME bandwidth (n - 1) x 2 consumed.
I also wonder, if you have 8 NVMe, write to a stripe to one, it does the RAID calc and sends each disk the share of the stripe. What happens if the master NVMe dies? It's not really a RAID if a single disk can kill the RAID.
