I am not sure if filevault can be completely and utterly inactive with more
recent versions of MacOS. I would give up on macOS dual boot as a blocking
case. The intel hardware which it is on will be considered 'unsupported' by
Apple soon (now depending on the system) and would probably be better as a
single boot system for one or the other due to unfixable bugs on either
side.
