Can you drop me a part number?
The intersection between devices supported by NetBSD and those actually
still available on the market seems to be aproximately empty.
Of course, it may be as trivial as adding PCI IDs to sys/dev/pci/arcsmr.c
to add support for newer controllers.

My controllers are oldish (ARC-1261), which is not SAS but SATA.

You could try IBM-branded cards such as the M5110:

I've tested this and it works great (540MB/s).
I've gone through all(-ish) current and previous generation IBM servers
and noted what the RAID card support is like:
