One disadvantage of enum to constant is that third-party library will not be able to extend it. I noticed this when I was trying to extend TLS to use non-certificate-based ciphersuites by providing more KeyExchange values. That work is stalled now but if we want to do it later this should be considered. Can MacAlg also be extended?
