The main point in LVM is that you can add/delete/resize things as you desire without impacting other parts of the layout as compared to standard partitioning.  You can even rename a VG or LV if you want so "relayout" shouldn't really be necessary.

If you use crypto, apparently "cryptsetup resize" doesn't work on a
mounted volume.  Then again, I've had mixed reports about whether you
actually need to "resize" a crypto partition.  This is probably more
important if you replace a disk in order to resize the physical
partition(s).
