No you can not. That is your sentence not from Secure Boot People.

Also I assume that APFS will support encrypted and unencrypted logical FS in the same space sharing FS instance. So the separate OS partition is just a logical FS which is unencrypted. - Which I meant in my original post.

GELI and the AES-GCM are authenticated. Not sure if GCM has equivalent properties to the GELI HMAC feature but probably good enough.
