Research direction

Start by locating the Python model-generation templates or entry point that emits class MyType(str, Enum). Check how generated models target Python 3.11 and how the enum declaration is tested. Done means Python 3.11+ generated models use StrEnum and the relevant generated output is covered by a regression test.
