Agree. s*** happens all the time. I'm a big believer in minimum complexity. Although I built the encryption support into sdm (and had fun!), I don't use it here (Pi or otherwise), except for testing. I became a storage simplicity fan when my win2k server MB-based hardware raid disks failed. Completely unrecoverable@bls. I should have omitted luksDump.
Twist of irony considering this thread. My PC failed to boot. Very long story short, systemd noticed the nvme drive efi partition was corrupt (thanks M$) so proceeded to replay the journal and fsck every filesystem. A non-critical filesystem on an ssd failed. Was working fine at reboot. Nothing useful from systemd at the time - just a maintenance shell. Even once the PC was up and running, the cause was unknown. What happened, yes. Cause, no. It does beg the question if systemd on rpi will do the same?
There's a very specific use case for disk encryption. None of them involve the filesystem being mounted.
