Access individual bands and use them in map algebra
You can access individual bands by joining the band name to the raster path - i.e. path/to/raster/band_name.
Often using path/to/raster/Band_[band number] works (i.e os.path.join(rasterpath, 'Band_1')...

ArcPy map algebra equivalent for "any"?
You could sum the rasters and test whether the total is greater than 0.

You can do this just by using the Mosaic to New Raster geoprocessing tool. Just choose maximum for your Mosaic Operator and the new raster will use the high value anywhere that they overlap.

You can access an individual band from a multi-band raster by using the Make RasterLayer tool. This would create an "in-memory" raster which you can process with, it is not a new dataset.
