I'm wondering if it's possible, or LUKS2 could be extended, to support
an non-encrypted target. That is, the virtual device and backing
device would contain the same information.

(You are not the first one asking for support for this option.)

In fact, the support is already there. But I am reluctant to officially
support it for a very long time, because it would be super confusing
for users (We have LUKS, but actually no encryption?!)

How about using real encryption but use /dev/null as the key-file?
(Just a thought.)
