A little more work than it should have been, but .. I'm now running Gentoo on ZFS (RAID0/striping) with full-disk-encryption using ZFSBootMenu.
Goodbye GRUB. I'm sure you and LILO will be besties .

Tuning beyond setting ashift=12? (4k sectors).
ZFS makes it way easier to do backups via snapshots.
I've been using this RAID layout for a while, mostly for performance:

I all started when I got an MSI gaming laptop that had two M.2/SATA drives setup in RAID0 by default.
I do work with a lot of small files, but I'm not sure if I'm really getting performance gains anymore with newer nvme drives. I might do a benchmarking post at some point. I do have a single Gen5 M.2 slot, so I might go to a single drive later down the line.
