It seems you've gotten good advice on the encryption.
One side issue: You mention a "primary site" plus one physical standby.
Since this is a new project, the time is right to consider the systems being symmetric with a reasonably frequent planned switchover, including "close to the database servers" application servers at both sites.
If your intent is merely data recovery in the event of a site or regional disaster, that may be overkill, since it is quite possible to test data recovery without doing a switch or re-instantiation.
But if your intent is business continuation, such as for a global operation, then you really do want switching the live site location to be a practiced and well understood process from network locations of the intranet and internet access points all the way through database access. And don't forget duplication of any monitoring and notification workstations.
