you will need some kind of remote mounting mechanism. Imagine you are abroad and your power at home is off for a short period of time. How to boot remotely and mounting the encrypted filesystem? Not an easy task. You will need some kind of dropbear ssh that you dial into and input your encryption key. Many moving parts. Don't get me started if you have to update the packages due to security fixes.
