I take it from https://twrp.me/faq/encryptionsupport.html that encryption support needs to be implemented individually for each device, and I share your opinion that having recovery without encryption support is better than having no recovery at all.
However, it took me some digging to find out whether encryption is supported on my device – an issue filed in the device-specific repository tells me it’s not.
It would be great to have this information available for every device, e.g. on the device-specific page linked at https://twrp.me/Devices/. It would be a simple yes/no field, maybe with an optional comment field for restrictions or other important information regarding crypto support on that particular device.
Maybe the yes/no flag can even be auto-generated – I see BoardConfig.mk for the respective device has a flag named TW_INCLUDE_CRYPTO, I just don’t know if that’s enough to tell if encryption is supported and works on that device.
If that doesn’t work, maintaining this information manually should be mostly a one-off effort to initially add this information for each device. After that, it’s up to the maintainers to supply this information for every newly-added device, and to update it once encryption support is added – probably much less effort than adding a new device or implementing encryption.
