If it were *me*, I would only encrypt the /home and "data" (if any)
partition(s).
However, "physical security" and "USB port" don't play well
together. However, if you disable Ctrl-Alt-Del, put that BIOS
password on, don't install sudo, etc, then *maybe* it would be
possible to expose a USB port for use by an encrypted filesystem.
However, then it is vulnerable to vandalism.
What is the purpose of this black box? How public will this
"untrusted location" be?

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
