Someone could install something on the unencrypted boot partition to leak the key next time it gets used

    Would this not apply even if the unencrypted boot partition is on another physical drive? You still have to enter the passphrase into the prompt at boot. Wouldn't a compromised boot partition be able to access the passphrase in memory at that time, and use that to access the key?
