I’d rather like to see the energy, if there’s some invested in the
first place, pointed towards creating something like a “super
postmaster” that helps multiple clusters running on the same
machine (even different versions, starting at the first to support
such) manage the entire-machine resources (CPUs, RAM, …) better.

That has use cases beyond encryption (incidentally, multi-tenant,
but perhaps also keeping an older cluster around for stuff that
cannot yet be dangerlessly migrated to a newer PostgreSQL version).

Just my 2¢, uninformed wondering.
