Only thing I find annoying with full volume LUKS encryption is that it makes it difficult to resize partitions, it's a whole thing, but it's a minor hassle and not something I'd do every day anyway.
I like to use btrfs subvolumes inside a luks lvm volume for this reason.
What? Btrfs subvolumes are basically the same as logical volumes. That's somewhat redundant.
Why not just encrypt the whole drive and then use virtual partitions within the encryption?
