I'm not sure if there's anything enable_if can do that concepts can't do somewhat better but yeah there's definitely a lot of subtleties that reflection is going to make nicer or possible in the first place

Oh, std::enable_if is straight up worse, they're unreadable and don't work when two function overloads (idk about variables) have the same signature.

I'm not even sure enable_if can do something that constraints can't at all...
