If it's just USB or keyboard that's non-responsive, you may be able to ssh into the box and collect a dmesg log. Oh, but I suppose ssh is not going to work if you're stuck at cryptsetup. Netconsole might work, if your kernel supports it. Or maybe a video of a text-mode boot? It might be instructive to compare the log with no options with a log using one of the options you found that seems to help.
