Oh, Cybertec has an open source version of Postgres 12.3 with TDE:

    https://www.cybertec-postgresql.com/en/products/postgresql-transparent-data-encryption/
    https://www.cybertec-postgresql.com/en/transparent-data-encryption-installation-guide/

and Postgres 12.3 was released on 2020-05-14, and their TDE version was
packaged on 2020-07-10, based on the tarball file dates.  Their TDE
feature is not part of community Postgres, and I don't if that will ever
happen.
