Agreed, Graphene is effectively running arbitrary enclave code. I'm guessing there is nothing that prevents extending/reworking Graphene to allow generating the enclave ahead of time so as to avoid populating the guts of the enclave at runtime, i.e. it's likely possible to run an unmodified application in an enclave without EXECMEM if that's something Graphene or its users really care about.
