The reset email is sent using mailer.py:Mailer::standard_message. This
method doesn't send encrypted emails. The bounce_message method in the
same class does support pgp encryption and may provide an outline of
how to implement encryption. Maybe changing the signature to include
crypt=False and implementing pgp encryption would work?

I assume your concern is that the reset email url is available in
plain text and could be used by a bad actor?

I did the analysis using 2.0.0 so password reset emails are still
unencrypted.
