Cryptsetup close (remove) operation should be very resilient, it should work despite underlying device disappears etc. But it just removes a kernel state, nothing persistent. It cannot work if basic system files are missing, for example /dev/mapper/control that is used to communicate with kernel device mapper. And perhaps indirectly some other nodes, like console etc. But if you reboot the box, the /dev/device is created dynamically in RHEL7 and LUKS metadata resides on disk. If anything is missing in /dev after reboot, you probably did some other destructive action than just rm /dev.
