a few items from my wish list....
1) Better support and documentation on volume encryption - how to create an encrypted volume (this is nowhere accurately and completely documented), info on what the expected performance degradation ...

So now it should be quite safe to try I think as Linux programs usually are corrected very quickly. Still you ought to have a backup for that (you already do have one or several of them, don't you ?).
No! You need a newer kernel and the filesystem to be created on a newer kernel than what we use on our legacy devices and using new utilities to remove the 16TB limit. Please do not encourage attempting something that will lead to data corruption. You cannot expand online by more than 8TB over the life of the volume.
There is no workaround and data corruption is something to avoid wherever possible.
If you hit one of the expansion limits backup your data; and then do a factory reset (wipes all data, settings, everything) with the high capacity disks in place and then restore your data from backup.
You should backup your important data regularly regardless. No important data should be trusted to just on device.
