Solution A:

Refuse to join invited-to rooms if encrypted. (Encryption status is apparently available as is_encrypted in SSS API, m.room.encryption in stripped state, and encryption in hierarchy API. This theoretically covers all supported homeserver implementations.)
AND, refuse to link with existing Matrix rooms in space if encrypted. (Apparently available as encryption in hierarchy API.)

Solution B:

In a chat, the first time an encrypted message is sent, inform that encrypted messages are not supported
- Possibly offer to upgrade the room to an unencrypted one?

Implement either or both.
