The article is almost 70 days old, and Clemens Fruhwirth, one of the creators of LUKS, has responded:
It doesn't seem like it's such a big deal.
Yep, a 10 Diceware word passphrase is just as secure as a 128-bit encryption key, even if only HKDF were used instead of a password-based KDF. Key stretching matters when you have weak passphrases, and even Argon2 only adds a few bits of effective entropy with reasonable difficulty factors.
can you please link to the source with Fruhwirth's response?
