Unless the laptop is a toy, I would encrypt either /home or the whole root with 
home, depending on how you have it set up. Laptops do get lost or stolen, even 
if you have nothing financial, there are probably things which are no one's 
business but your own. Mailing addresses, mail people sent you, passwords to 
mail accounts, maybe social media accounts?

Booting with no services saves time to login prompt, what is time to useful system?

One of the reasons I stick with Fedora is that they have made the effort to make 
selinux work on the system, something I feel adds a layer of security worth a 
few seconds at boot. That's my priority, it may not be yours.
