I'm just thinking if you got nicked and didn't have a chance to reboot into an encrypted state, or otherwise the device was compromised outside the house.

Then you can just revoke the device key, can't you?
Unless you've been arrested and are in pretrial detention without access to any devices that would allow you to do that. But in that case, the Arr stack on your server is probably the least of your problems.
Auto revoke the device key if your phone isnt within 10' of your RFID tooth filling for more than 10 minutes.
...We all have one of those for these situations, right?
Left molar is RFID, right molar is cyanide. No.. wait.. Left is cyani
Depending on your mobile OS you can set a password to access certain apps in addition to unlocking your device. In the US, you cannot be compelled to give someone your password, so as long as biometrics aren’t the only thing securing it you’re fine.
Additionally to that, if you’ve been arrested and charged with a crime necessitating your phone be broken into, your server of ill-repute is most likely the least of your worries.
