I've used a Tang server to provide encryption keys. Since I don't take my laptop out of my home much, I like the idea that only a passphrase can unlock my machine outside of my home network. It works well for home servers also, and I don't need a bunch of secure boot and storage pcr configs that get mucked up during bios updates.

My model of defense is.if someone is in my house taking all my stuff, I'm probably owned though a smash and grab yields nothing. Plan accordingly for your needs I guess.
