Maybe you could replace the real LUKS2 header with a dummy LUKS2
header, which would need to be able the describe "do not use this" and
e.g. SHA256 of the actual header. And then treat the looked up header as
the header when the drive is mounted.

LUKS2 would also need to be able to have pre-defined (e.g. kernel
command-line or bootconfig) small internal storage, which would be
also encrypted with TPM's PRCs containing an array of LUKS2 header
and then look up that with SHA256 as the key.

Without knowing LUKS2 implementation to me these do not sound reaching
the impossible engineer problems so maybe this would be worth of
investigating...
