What about installing to a SATA JBOD?  Will that work fine?

Yes, definitely.

When you install the disks, they default to JBOD. If you do not configure the disks for RAID, then Linux and Windows (using the vendor-provided drivers) are perfectly comfortable "interoperating" on them, and furthermore you can use LVM2 or Linux md RAID without interfering with Windows (obviously). The only problem is that there is no equivalent feature in Windows, at least as far as I know, so you will end up with Windows running from one of the disks or the other (or, more to the point, split equally across both, as C: and D:).
