If you >do such a thing, there could be a side channel. Could you elaborate that? I don't see why disk encryption could be a "very bad idea" for a web server. It could very well guard against recovery of eg. replaced RAID1 disks data, or data disclosure from stolen server. Even if someone mounts a side channel attack on your key, it's still more complicated to get your data than without any encryption.
