I didn't have any particular reason to avoid LVM. I just tried if encrypted installation succeeds without it. Now that I tried with LVM, installation was simple and worked without issues. One thing that I noticed was that LVM option uses by default ext2 for /boot, whereas some people on the list suggested ext4. So I manually changed that.
