Which use cases would be covered by ecryptfs that are not already
covered by either LUKS or GPG integrated in Nautilus as both are already
included in Tails?

Indeed, kdenlive seems to be more popular than pitivi, and moving a bit
faster in terms of versions:
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=pitivi
http://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=pitivi
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=kdenlive
http://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=kdenlive
Nonetheless, as a consequence of being based on KDE, kdenlive is asking
for *a lot* more dependencies than pitivi to be installed in Tails:
apt-get tells me 3 MB would be freed by remove pitivi, but 169 MB would
be taken up by kdenlive.
It would be interesting to try to substitute pitivi by kdenlive and
build an actual ISO to see the final difference in size. Do you think
you could try to do that?

We should also take into account that it is tricky to replace software,
since people might have got use to them.
Note that in both cases, you can use the Additional software feature of
the persistence to have them automatically installed each time:
