100% is not available yet introduced GELI keys / mounted drive.
AES-XTS is good but too slow.
ChaCha is already enough to cryptography was not a bottleneck.

The case when the disks - local (SATA/SAS/IDE/USB), keys entered / disk is mounted and the attacker has access I do not see because AES-XTS does not help.
