    Yeah, sucks. :-/

    For anyone else in the same boat, let me go see what that enclosure is with a physical power button that I wound up ultimately getting.

    goes to look

    This:

    Probably others one can find — just an 8-bay JBOD enclosure with a variable speed fan and physical power switch.

    But unlike the non-powering-on-after-power-loss enclosures, I haven’t had problems with it.

    I have a ton of USB devices, and drive enclosures — the one thing that I really do not want to stay offline — are the only thing I’ve ever seen that doesn’t power up again on power loss. Maybe there are some USB displays that might also do so, but I don’t care about that if I’m not physically present.
