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.

Why not just encrypt the whole drive and then use virtual partitions within the encryption?

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.
