This feature was made available with Cosmic (18.10). The request of having it in 18.04 need to be driven by a dedicated customer. Currently, no officail request know from my side. Therefore we can close, the feature request.
If new information will come up, a new LP will be created.
Once you close it on LP side. I will close it here..
Many thanks in advance

Title:
  Upgrade cryptsetup >= 2.0.3

Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
  Won't Fix
Status in cryptsetup package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Cryptsetup is utility used to conveniently setup disk encryption based
  on DMCrypt kernel module.

  These include plain dm-crypt volumes, LUKS volumes, loop-AES
  and TrueCrypt (including VeraCrypt extension) format.

  Project also includes veritysetup utility used to conveniently setup
  DMVerity block integrity checking kernel module
  and, since version 2.0,  integritysetup to setup
  DMIntegrity block integrity kernel module.

  Version 2.0.3 include all z code for dm-crypt with protected keys

  Without cryptsetup 2.0.3 (the 3 is important) we won't be able to use
  secure key encryption with LUKS2 and the paes cipher. Only plain mode
  will be usable with cryptsetup version 2.0.1.
