One alternative is to only encrypt user-home directory, then your
personal files are protected and will be decrypted upon login from
lightdm, which does support touch screens.
Ideally plymouth would support touch-screen input.
Or we somehow include touch screen support into initramfs and/or alternative
input methods.
E.g. using hardware keys that are present, e.g. "volume up/down".
Or create a small unencrypted install that lets you unlock/mount
encrypted root and chroot into that....
