And with dm-crypt there's a security concern in that it exposes massive zero'd holes on the device instead of current data being obscured by stale data.

I have 4 SSDs of various manufacturers all used as root and boot drives. All use 
ext4 and have TRIM enabled. I have yet to experience any perceived slow downs.
