If I have 2 SSDs via SATA3, both reaching speeds of about 500MB/s, which is close to SATA3 limit, does it make sense to combine them using RAID0? I mean if the SATA3 chip can provide the 6Gb/s speed for all devices separately, there should be an improvement, right? Any experiences?

No. The complexity of setting this up outweighs its usefulness.
If you want to achieve a major speed increase, upgrade to a motherboard with a new M.2 slot and put in an appropriate M.2 SSD.
A current - and not that expensive - Samsung M.2 SSD achieves a maximum reading speed of 3.4GB/s - far more that a RAID-0 of two SSDs with 500MB/s can achieve.
Concerning the problem of the TRIM-command and a SSD RAID-0 this SuperUser question may add further information.
