That the kernel can’t find the root filesystem if it is encrypted? And
the kernel lacks the capability to ask you for the password.

Well, server may be a special case.

Well, I want it. First, you can have keys in /etc for VPN for example.
Second I don’t want to think about which partions are „safe”.

Besides if your disc controler dies you can’t easily delete the data. If
everything is encrypted you can simply through away the disc.

Many greetings,
