Yes, it is viable. I use an encrypted partition with LVM on it to hold
everything except /boot on laptops, desktops, and headerless servers.
That works well for me.

However, I set it up at installation time. Since I have never set up an
Rpi, I have no idea whether you can do it on one.

Be sure to back up /etc/lvm/ in case the LVM headder gets clobbered.
I've had no problem with that for more than ten years, but you never
know...
