I'm moving to encrypting some directories. To do that, I need a empty drive first to put encryption on. Then I can encrypt, move stuff that isn't encrypted then add drives back until everything that I want is encrypted. I'm assuming I can have one large logical volume that is encrypted across more than one drive. Right now, I have 3 drives for /home. I got space to remove one and then start encrypting and adding other drives to the encrypted stuff.
I've got dm-integrity running over my bare partition. I guess you could use dm-security/luks. No reason why not.
Then I use raid-5 over that to combine 3 3TB partitions into a 6TB device. Which has lvm on that. And then I have my other partitions (basically just /home) on top of that.
So if I need more space I just add a new drive with dm-integrity, add that into my raid, and grow the raid, lvm, and my /home ...
