Thank you Ellen for the good summary.  I knew most but in less detail.

So the better solution would be a better GRUB instead of unprotected
/boot.  Could key files help in passing the passphrase on to the Linux
kernel?  The Arch Wiki says this:
<https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Device_encryption#With_a_keyfile_embedded_in_the_initramfs>.

Keyboard layouts then will only all work properly everywhere once
fixed in GRUB.

Florian
