At least since october last year the story around dm-crypt seems to have changed with their patches. I dropped FDE last year in spring after a tormented year of often caused ui freezes. With an SSD mind you. I just think that in this particular case dm-crypt devs don't actually encrypt their drives and haven't experienced the degraded performance. Otherwise, I'd agree with you. Had no problem with FDE and my smartphone.
