Sorry? You mean my own talk? That exactly describes how it is implemented now.

We use AEAD when used together with encryption (dm-crypt) but this requires
LUKS2 userspace branch and this is not something I would like to use until
it is more stable.

As said in the slides you linked, dm-integrity can operate in two modes:

 - standalone [parity only] (configured through integritysetup) and

 - in cooperation with dm-crypt [for AEAD - authenticated encryption)
  (will be configured through cryptsetup, but it is not yet in master branch)
