is there a way to encrypt obsidian vaults using either symmetric/asymmetric encryption with multiple devices?

Not that I know of. Obsidian sync between multiple devices is end-to-end encrypted but it all ends up unencrypted on device. Some plugins let you encrypt sensitive information/notes (Meld Encrypt) - I haven't used it in some time but when I did it was a little finicky.

Some other options:

Use disk encryption on your devices.
Install a Linux distro in a virtual machine with encrypted home partition exclusively for running Obsidian. (It's like electron except you're bundling an operating system)
Use android work mode/insular to isolate Obsidian's files from other apps.

There is a plugin called gpgCrypt that might do full vault encryption (no idea how well it works) but it does mention that Obsidian's cache of notes will still be unencrypted on disk.
