I don't understand why anyone would use passwordless disk encryption. It just seems inherently vulnerable, especially with the threat model of physical compromise.
Entering a password on boot isn't even that much work

So all this depends on what you worry about.
Disk encryption (AES etc) is symmetric and still only brute-force would work which can be made infeasible with a long enough key.
