Would almost be better with in addition a vm per customer or at least some kind of encrypted partition per user/customer. Not sure how easy it is under Linux.

Not sure how easy it is on other OSes. On Linux, it's easy.

Just bite the bulllet and move to Qubes

Another advantage of doing this on separate VMs on Qubes is it makes it easy to comply with end-of-contract requirements to destroy all data. Just delete the VMs, and if needed, old backups.

Didn't know Qubes had such a feature (encrypted home partition/container). Will have a look, thanks.

On the face of it, it looks fairly simple on Linux with the encrypted homes feature.

Don't have the need for that, so I've never tested it in practice, though.
