My experience is the opposite. I use dm-crypt as well as encfs with
BTRFS and everything, including snapshots, works as I would expect it
to work.

I have been able to successfully restore snapshots that contained
encrypted data.

I think the other answers have already provided more details than I
could provide, so I just wanted to add the fact that my experience has
been positive with BTRFS snapshots and encryption.
