And just where do you find this encoder requirement? It isn't in
91.205(d), it isn't in 91.215 that I can see. Unless it is a very recent
change, I've flown IFR both without a transponder and with one without
encoder for many years. Just increases your reporting requirements and
may slightly annoy the controller. Note flight plan equipment codes /X
and /T are still valid. Obviously it limits you to non-Class B,
C airports and below 10,000 ft. unless you get a waiver.

Altitude encoders are required equipment for IFR flight in controlled
airspace. And unless the operation is conducted under part 121 or
135, as per FARS, 14CFR Section215(a), they do NOT need to be
certified/TSO'd.
So, go to your basement and create your own altitude encoder. Your
only obligation under Part 91 is to demonstrate that it meets the
performance and environmental standards of any class of TSO-C47b or c
or TSO-C112.
