Have you tried to use "/etc/modprobe.d/*.conf"-way to assign module
dependency for mdadm?
$ sudo modprobe -nD md-mod
insmod /lib/modules/4.15.0-0.bpo.2-amd64/kernel/drivers/md/md-mod.ko
start_ro=1

$ echo "softdep md_mod pre: libata libahci scsi_mod mpt3sas" | sudo tee
/etc/modprobe.d/md-mod.conf

$ sudo modprobe -nD md-mod
insmod /lib/modules/4.15.0-0.bpo.2-amd64/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko
insmod /lib/modules/4.15.0-0.bpo.2-amd64/kernel/drivers/ata/libata.ko
insmod /lib/modules/4.15.0-0.bpo.2-amd64/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko
insmod /lib/modules/4.15.0-0.bpo.2-amd64/kernel/drivers/ata/libata.ko
insmod /lib/modules/4.15.0-0.bpo.2-amd64/kernel/drivers/ata/libahci.ko

You should get the idea. I think for your system you will need to change
module "mpt3sas" to "mptsas" and/or "mptbase".
After adding config file you will have to also update initramfs with:
$ sudo update-initramfs -u

I didn't tested this suggestion and you might break your system, so be
prepared to boot from livecd to rollback changes, but because your root
filesystem is on other disks I think it should be ok and hopefully your
system will boot normally.
There is also a possibility that "softdep" feature of kmod is not yet
implemented on your old system and this suggestion won't work.
