If an attacker wants your encrypted data that bad, they will attack the running machine and use it to access the data, they will not steal a key and then attempt to physically remove the drive.
Drive encryption is for prevention of access when the drive is offline, it doesn’t protect a running system which can access that data.
If you are worried about the key being accessed while the machine is running, focus on hardening access to the machine via network, etc.
This machine will not be connected to the Internet, and the only way to get to it would be a VLAN-hopping attack (in which case, I'll have to think of something else)
