Whonix-Workstation custom VM builds:
- You're better off using full disk encryption on the host.

Whonix-Workstation on hardware with physical isolation without VMs:
- Installing Debain is as easy/hard as without Whonix.
- Installing Whonix isn't that hard:

Doing for Whonix-Default/Download-Version:
- Before thinking about it, it would require shipping a host operating
system and a host operating system installer. The project isn't yet that
far developed.

Yes, it's not as easy as using TrueCrypt FDE on Windows.
