Why not using FEATURE_CONTROL_SGX_LE_WR? "LE_WR" is even used in SDM
41.2.2 Intel SGX Launch Control Configuration:

If IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL.LE_WR (bit 17) is set to 1 and
IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL is locked on that logical processor,
IA32_SGXLEPUBKEYHASH MSRs on that logical
processor then the IA32_SGXLEPUBKEYHASHn MSR are writeable.
