macOS offers us a super simple way to fully encrypt an APFS formatted external drive: Right-click on the volume in the Finder and choose the option "Encrypt". Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) also recommends this in its KB article Enabling encryption on a volume that will not contain an installation of macOS.

- as it would have already completed full volume encryption.
