It's fairly reliable; I actually prefer it to using KVM in almost all
cases. You just need to get it configured properly in grub, the bios,
and the kernel, and you should be fine.

That said, providing LUKS input over the wire is always going to be
problematic unless you have known secured links to the terminal. [But
maybe you'll know if the government has done this to you.]
