And if so, is there a way to "downgrade" to the regular kernel?

    I wouldn't trust encryption software with an obviously incompetent implementation.

There should be no issue having several kernels installed. In fact, to my knowledge it is standard practice to install newer kernel versions alongside the old versions, instead of overwriting the old kernel while it is running and thus risking ending up with a non-functioning system after next reboot.

One can see the application in always keeping a verified working kernel in place.
