No.

A volume group may have several file system images. You should have no
problem in accessing logical volumes (or file systems on them) that
don't include the corrupted/failed disk. Obviously, logical volumes that
include the corrupted/failed disk will have problems unless it is
a mirrored logical volume!

I would go with LVM2.
