This is an interesting approach. I figured the installer should prompt
for encryption, and it probably still should, but if the performance
impact is minimal, this does have the nice property of allowing for
enabling encryption post-install.

It might be worthwhile (after merging the SIMD fixes) to benchmark
aes256-ccm (the default) vs encryption=aes-256-gcm. I think GCM seems to
be preferred, security wise, in various places (though I don't
immediately have references) and may be faster. There's also an upstream
PR in progress that significantly improves AES-GCM:
