If you're on GPT then you have to option of PARTUUID and PARTLABEL,
which *are* present in such cases - that only works for raw partitions,
but may be something to think about.
I dodge the whole thing by putting my LVM PV on top of LUKS, and then having
my swap in an LV. I need persistent swap (and thus LUKS, not random key) for
hibernation anyway, and doing it as described brings the number of keys
needed down to 1.
If I *had* RAID, I'd go (bottom to top) RAID -> LUKS -> LVM -> Swap/FS.
