I'd be more in favour of opting specific kwargs out of migrations, it keeps the interface simpler for users. There's a barrier to understanding Field(choices=func_that_returns_a_plain_list).
As an note, Django-MySQL's EnumField uses the values in choices at the database layer to define an ENUM type column: https://django-mysql.readthedocs.io/en/latest/model_fields/enum_field.html , so it would need to opt back in choices affecting migrations, if Django went the route of ignoring it.
