The choice is clear, yes, use full-disk encryption...Tools like shred are probably not worth your time.

So now you've exchanged a media wiping problem for a key management problem, hardly a panacea.

Maybe not a panacea but a far more understandable and tractable problem.
The alternative is storing everything in the clear and then making bad assumptions about how the underlying technology works so that you can try and fail to wipe the data when required because you don't really control or understand the underlying storage.
