Those limitations are ok.
You said it "isn't a good idea"; is there a possibility for data loss or
will it just be slow & an ugly hack?
So what would currently (4.6) be a sane way to have an encrypted disk
mirrored?
(no hardware raid, except if someone gives me the hardware for free...)
* raidframe with softraid crypto on top
* softraid mirror with vnconfig -k on top
* something weird with ccd
* currently no solution
My goal is that if one disk dies then I would like to be able to
shutdown the system in a clean way and replace the broken disk, without
having to restore everything from a backup.
Afaik this was not supported in 4.5, can a broken disk in (Soft-)Raid1
be recovered in 4.6?

Stacking RAID sets can be done but isn't a good idea. We are debating
options but no decision has been made.
