Vitalik making it clear that only ZK itself cannot provide anti-coercion protection and must be used together with trusted parties, MPC, FHE, or TEE.

Vitalik, "For voting, ZK does not offer coercion resistance, you do need {trusted party | MPC | FHE | TEE} for that. But what you *can* do is layer ZK and eg. FHE together, so that even if the FHE breaks, you still have every property except coercion resistance due to the ZK. I suspect a similar thing applies for almost every other usecase of crypto-other-than-ZK (you should stack it with ZK so that you get ZK-level guarantees for as many apps / as much data as possible)"
