I’ve always disabled cloud backups. They don’t really serve much purpose anyway since it’s just settings and to me settings are less valuable than content. I can easily set my device up again from scratch - in fact I like to do that every now and then to get new defaults or see how UX has changed. If you connect your device locally you can, just using Finder, make an encrypted local backup which IMHO is much better. Even if Apple did say Cloud Backups were encrypted you’d have to take it at face value anyway. Always be in charge of your own data, and secure and back it up yourself.
