TrueNAS does not currently encrypt config downloads in the GUI. You export the config as-is and must encrypt it yourself afterward (e.g., with GPG or a zip tool).
Is this planed to be implemented in the future?
It’s up to the end user to keep it safe and/or encrypted by their own choice.

This is true. There are no plans to do differently. There is the option to export the config without the secret seed. In this case sensitive fields will be encrypted and the download will not contain the key to decrypt them. Do note that such a bare config is functionally not useful for configuration restores.
This is all covered in our existing documentation.
