There should be no conflict at all because boot loader will likely be grub, so you'll have to enter password for one of the OS's you choose to boot.If there would likely be a conflict on a dual-boot system where both Windows and Linux were encrypted, then I'd go for just the Windows OS to be encrypted and the Linux OS not.
However setting thing up may not be easy, you'll have to some research on that, dm-crypt is harder to set up than bit locker,
dm-crypt syntax is same on all distributions, but setting it up may differ from one distro to other.
Some installer allow to set it up right away during installation, which depends on distro you use.
TPM mean Trusted platform module, it's hardware device used for secure key storage.What is TPM and how do I know if my hardware has it (or is compatible)?
without TPM you will be use software based encryption which is less secure, you'll need to consult
your motherboard manual to see if TPM is installed. or see in BIOS if there is one, could be disabled in BIOS.

It's not overkill if you need safe data in both operating systems, the point is if one OS get rooted, other one stays safe and locked down.I'm really asking whether there is any merit to encrypting the OS where your data is on a separate disk and the disk is encrypted. Seems like overkill to me. Thoughts??
