If you make a dinglesoeed with the same teeth count, an ENO will be fine. However, it still may require tension adjustment when you change gears (though the gear teeth add up to the same number, the actual chain length still changes slightly).
But if you’re trying to accommodate different teeth count, the ENO won’t have the necessary throw for adjustment. As a simplified example, if you had a 38t single front ring and a 16/19 rear dingle, an ENO is not going to cut it.
