Why did my block counts change? The disk partitions weren't touched or changed at any point. Shouldn't I have gotten the same size?
Defaults in mdadm has changed over time, so data offsets might be different. In order to get the exact same data offset you need to use the same mdadm version as was originally used, or at least know the values it used and use mdadm 3.3 that allows you to specify these data at creation time,
The created device isn't work. There is suppose to be luks encrypted volume there but luksOpen reports there is no luks header. (and there use to be). Would the odd change in size indicate total corruption?
No, the change in size indicates that data offsets are not the same so your beginning of volume is now in the wrong place.
