First reason I think of to use fde all the time even if it's automatically unlocked, is it's simple to securely delete everything all at once. Just delete all the keys or overwrite that section of the desk.
Yes, you can have docker scripts decrypt a drive/storage. You might also consider an encrypted home partition separate from the root partition, or user space encryption of your home directory.
I think when people want to remotely decrypt fde the usual advice is installing dropbear SSH to remotely enter the password. Sorry for not providing links but it should be easy to find.

Occasionally some manufacturers use some weird proprietary connection but usually both DVD drives and 3.5" disks use the same SATA connectors. Heck, even in the old IDE/PATA days you could use the same connection on either.
So yeah, the connection is the same and probably will plug and play without any configuration needed
I would totally have one as a pet but they do not do well in captivity.
