Yes I have zapped all drives before each try...

Did you subsequently check for success with `ceph device ls` and `lsblk`?

I've found that sometimes the orch zap doesn't succeed fully and one must manually stop and remove LVMs before the drive can be truly zapped.

I think yes, but I will retry. Another thing I've never done before, is using encryption. Perhaps it adds delays with my config, leading to timeouts...

I don't think it adds relevant delays, but it does make a new volume inside the crypto container which in itself is inside the LVM so both of those needs to be closed/removed before zap is going to be useful, otherwise the kernel retains info about the old devices and thats bad.
