You don't.
Enable the setting in TWRP to use rm -f instead of formatting.
In this way wiping only removes the files in a partition, and it doesn't format the partition back to EXT4.

I understand the first post state "POCO lacks a proper encryption method on F2FS" but is it still the same now?
Have anyone tried F2FS with encryption?

I don't really know how this happened, but....

Looks fine to me.

I made a Mi9 kernel with F2FS support and other stuff (Fsync off, GPU OC 830, CRC off if wanted). Yes it has F2FS encryption enabled in the build. Looking at what you do here I would need to use grep to mount the partition? I can format in TWRP to F2FS but TWRP can't mount it. Looks like you are bypassing TWRP with grep via Linux? Trying to figure out how to mount this and run F2FS you had luck on Poco F1 Mi9 same brand... Also /vendor/etc/fstab..qcom can be edited in a root browser and the changes stick.
