Data area for LUKS was always aligned to 4k offset, so you should never see problem here.

Almost all tools actively use topology information (from kernel) or default to 1MiB alignment. (fdisk, parted, lvm, cryptsetup, mdadm, etc) I would say - if you are using recent distro, you have aligned this correctly by default (when creating new storage stack). Do not try to use any magic options, only do this if you are sure that default result is wrong. (And report bug if you see it with new versions of tools, storage people spent a lot of time fixing to work it correctly.)
