Ubuntu also released TPM based FDE a few versions ago. I had these thoughts then and decided against using it. Typing my passphrase on boot is muscle memory and gives me simple security I can trust.

Also can recover data without my mainboard.

Maybe a hybrid (secureboot-TPM+phrase) slot for day to day to also prevent against evil maid attacks, and another slot with a backup passphrase would be acceptable.
