I run installed systems, so wifi passwords are either in individual
/var/lib/iwd/<ESSID>.psk files (with iwd), or collectively in
/etc/wpa_supplicant/<ifname>.conf (with wpasupplicant/systemd-networkd).

These files have go= permissions, and I don't consider them of great
enough concern to put them on an encrypted filesystem (which would
in any case need unlocking). However, you could do just that, with an
encrypted USB stick. At least you'd benefit from just one passphrase
to unlock any and all necessary secrets.

Cheers,
David.
