I mean yeah, if you don't want the feds finding your cheese pizza
depends what you use your computer for.
I got the early 2015 macbook pro for uni, and I can feel the internals moving if I tilt it a bit. On top of that, the trackpad worries me a ton after it started fucking up and doing this really loud click as if it were breaking. It fixed itself but still doesn't feel right.
My first mac and I already feel bad about it.

Time machine will not copy your encryption if that's what you're asking. If your system partition is encrypted and your time machine partition isn't, your data in the time machine partition will not be encrypted.

the power connector is designed to be easily knocked off, but at the same time it doesn't wreck the machine in the process.

The design is shitty. First off it detatches vertically so it comes off all the time and if the cord is pulled right it actually doesn't even prevent the laptop from being pulled. The only really great thing about it is that it's probably impossible to break the connector on the laptop itself, unlike most other brands.
