Review comment:
       I pushed a new commit to switch to sqlalchemy enum type with native enum 
and check constraint disabled, which should address all our concerns without 
requiring a schema migration. I think this strikes a good balance.
   
   @ashb @potiuk @kaxil thoughts? Or do you all prefer to go all in and migrate 
to native db enum type instead?
