Hi seizurebot,
sdelete is the method I've seen used most frequently in the past -- I think with how VMDKs will work, it will be the best and you will have to rely on Veeam's compression/dedup engine to get the incremental size manageable again.
I've not worked with cipher before and the process looks a bit iffy based on the thread (you have to manually terminate it at some point as I get it? Seems tricky), but in theory should work. Main idea is to try to get the space reclaimed as compressible/dedupable space as Bitlooker won't work here due to the spanned disks.
