Apparently the link from my blog post, to https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorExitGuidelines no longer has any mention pro or con disk encryption. I wonder if that was intentionally removed by the torservers.net folks (maybe they have even changed their mind on the advice?), or if it just fell out because it's a wiki.
I added the recommendation for "no disk encryption" back then, and it wasn't me who removed it.
This was my mistake in an edit on 2018-01-12 [1], I fixed/restored it now [2].
Is the information about "contact us at support@torservers.net" and the XMPP chat still valid?
My own opinion has changed slightly: My general advice would still be to not do disk encryption, to reduce the amount of hassle and allow easier 'audits'. For additional protection, you better move the relay keys to a RAM disk.
Also consider OfflineMasterKeys.
