an independent filesystem mounted as a top level directory

Hm, I can elaborate a little: I have one filesystem / partition for my very 
sensitive private data, and a second to back that stuff up.

(I have some scripts to allow me to easily open (and close) those filesystems 
-- when they open, the unencrypted content is put on a ramdisk (with the 
intent if somebody gets physical possession of the device (which is a desktop, 
not a laptop), the enencrypted data disappears on power off.)

Well, the Buster system is a laptop, Jessie is a desktop.  I don't plan to put 
much, if any, sensitive data on the laptop.  (I don't really even intend to 
take the laptop out of the house, especially during this Covid thing -- I 
installed Buster on it because I needed GCC 7+ and couldn't (easily) do that 
on the Wheezy or Jessie systems.

No.

See above.

No, but they do stay up 24/7 unless there is a (longer that 2 minute (power is 
UPS supported)) power outage, or a (very rare) reboot.
