Currently, nothing. I used to recommend VeraCrypt for the exact set of use cases it satisfies.

Having an answer to this question is going to require research, which might take time.

The problem is that a design decision like this calls into question the competence of the developers, and therefore the safety of any modifications they've made in the past.

How about the original truecrypt? AFAIK it was audited and no bugs were found.
