Will the new Mini have a T2 processor for secure boot and disk encryption?

All future Macs will have T chips; why wouldn't they?

That would be my guess as well.

The Mini doesn't include a touch bar that requires a T2.

Neither does the iMac Pro; the T2 is a security device first, touch input controller second.

It does all kinds of stuff. It is also the SSD/Flash controller running Apple's own software for it.

Not does the iMac Pro, but that has the T2.

The T2 provides full-speed AES 256 encryption to a pair of PCIe SSDs in a RAID 0 configuration on the iMac Pro.

It would be very strange for Apple not to considering the functions of the T2 chip.
