can you share more details about how do you use jl-encrypt and which
functions do not work? Recently, I posted a few patches that fix some
problems related to the replacing message-mode with
notmuch-message-mode. Maybe, there is more what we can do to not break
user's setups.

>From a brief look at jl-encrypt, it seems it is tightly bound to gnus,
because it uses gnus-message-setup-hook. Maybe it will work again with
notmuch if you use my patch [1] and run

    (add-hook 'message-setup-hook 'jl-encrypt-if-possible)
