Does anyone happen to know if hardware RAID is easier to configure
than software RAID?

It certainly is. In true hardware RAID, you configure the RAID in
the "BIOS". The operating system then only sees ONE drive.

In hardware RAID, the controler is a single point of failure. If the controler dies and you can not find the very same controler model/version you are lost in the wild land of unrecoverable incompatible hardware raid setup.
