Although I cannot help directly -- I used system partition encryption
before, but not with LFS -- there is one argument: /etc contains a lot
of information that some may consider "sensitive" -- for example proxy
configs, udev rules containing device IDs and the like. I would not
recommend LFS for proxies or firewalls, though.

ps. out of scope of LFS (adds some requirements), but maybe helpful anyway:
