    All of the LUKS integrations literally just store a password and then type that into the thing upon boot

          No. Your actually encryption key is a random number not a password. Your password is used to decrypt your actually key which is loaded into memory and used to read encrypted data.

          In no configuration is it just stored in clear text.

            I have set up many of these systems and every one stores a string (a password) in the TPM which is then fed into the LUKS system as a regular password.
