Does rEFInd support LUKS2 or even LUKS in general?

So unless a LUKS EFI driver has been created in the meantime you need the kernel unencrypted somewhere. An unencrypted /boot partition probably being the simplest solution.

Thanks for the clarification.

Will probably need to have the /boot in separate device if one needs to do FDE with rEFInd.
Compiling the kernel manually may also make this possble, but I have forgotten it's possible to have an encrypted /boot by doing so.

I'm waiting for grub to finally officially support luks2 with argon2.
