Are the benefits of btrfs lost if one uses encryptFS on top? What advantages (over ext4) of btrfs remain intact with encryptFS? If I want to have the full benefits of btrfs with encryption, is LUKS the way to go?

This is opinion based in the same way as “Doselslist files?“. I.E not opinion based.

Yes use LUKS under btrfs.
EncryptFS on top would negate;
- Transparent compression
- Data deduplication
- Copy-on-write ( because COW is on partial file hunks and encryptFS would re-encrypt the whole file )

Then again, the point of encryption is to hide the data, including if some files/blocks are identical. So it's not just about "negating" advantages, but of conflicting goals.
