This certainly points towards having more widespread support for plausible deniability, no? Are there any mass encryption tools that are reasonably simple to set up providing this (besides TrueCrypt Hidden Volumes)?

Would someone continue to be held in contempt if they furnished a decrypted drive that didn't contain the information that court held as a "foregone conclusion" that it contained?

Tails combined with any encrypted cloud hosting service accepting anonymous payments (e.g. mega.nz, though I'm sure there are ones with better desktop integration) would offer more deniability than any local solution could, though it's debatable if paying is reasonably simple.

Why besides TrueCrypt?

because it's supposed to be broken and/or backdoored since may 2014 when the development abruptly stopped and weird warnings appeared on the official site to switch to alternative programs

There's no evidence it's been "backdoored since may 2014." There were no changes at that point in time.

"supposed [...] since may 2014"

Although, who really knows at this point. Judge for yourself what happened: https://mastermind.atavist.com/he-always-had-a-dark-side
