Yes, your Ledger's BIP39 seed is enough as a backup.

-snip- or do i need backup some electrum-ravencoin wallet files in order to make sure i could restore everything?
This is only necessary if you don't want to go through the process of creating a new wallet on a new machine or when you need to format your PC.
If you want to keep a wallet file backup, just copy the wallet file from Electrum-Ravencoin-equivalent of "electrum/wallets" directory.
Or use: "File->Create a backup"

do i need keep the original ledger device(or i could just buy a new one then put the seed phases in?)
It's compatible with any hardware wallet that supports BIP39 seed; same model, different model or from other brands. (check its backup phrase compatibility)
Even software wallets support it as long as it supports BIP39, but that's only an option if you do not have any choice.
