When using an encrypted root, it needs to be unlocked and prepared for mount in the kernel initramfs. This part runs after u-boot, but before SystemD takes over. It also have slightly different rules on where kernel output goes, where it only goes to one "console", which is specified in the kernel arguments (visible after boot in /proc/cmdline).
 
If memory serves, the last "console=" argument takes priority during initramfs (though its hazy sometimes and it might be the first). You may need to adjust the order of the kernel arguments to make your password prompt appear on VGA or serial console (whichever you expect).
 
I don't have a rockpro64 to test with, but you should verify that it's not doing something silly like going to a serial port with a different baud rate than your uboot. FYI, RK3399's use an odd baud rate of 1.5 megabaud.
