This is a frustrating table; it's got irrelevant details (like which of a variety of ciphers are supported) but nothing on what constructions and modes are used, which KDFs are supported, how nonces are handled, &c.
It would be one thing if all these systems used roughly the same XTS construction, like modern full disk encryption systems. But they don't; they use '90s constructions like block-addressed CBC.
Yea, that's what I researched to initially get the idea to use EncFS. I forget why I discounted ecryptfs, it may be because that page doesn't make it look great for cross-platform support.

Here's a pretty good comparison table:
