As I understand, index: no is applicable to core types only, whereas enabled: false is defined for object types and ElasticSearch specific fields such as _index, _all, ...

From the documentation:

The enabled setting, which can be applied only to the mapping type and to object fields. It causes Elasticsearch to skip parsing of the contents of the field entirely.

Example of enabled usage (YAML format):

    ---
    ...
    _all:
          enabled: false
    ...
