What is your use case exactly?

Do you actually need to re-write the data on the disk after it's been
written, or is this just a one-off archiving of data to an encrypted
volume that might need to be read back on either OS in the future?

If the data is unchanging or rarely changing, you could use a FAT
volume to store tar archives and encrypt those tar archives
individually using a symmetric cipher using the openssl command line
tool.
