StringEnumConverter in CosmosSerializer is ignored when making a LINQ query against an enum

Describe the bug When working with enum serialized as string in simple where clause, the expression is properly translated in SQL using the string value of the enum when StringEnumConverter is set as a C# attribute. But it doesn’t work when working with Fluent interface and inheriting from CosmosSerializer.

To Reproduce

public enum Status
{
  StatusA,
  StatusB
}

public class CosmosNewtonsoftJsonSerializer : CosmosSerializer
{
    private readonly JsonSerializerSettings _jsonSerializerSettings;

    public CosmosNewtonsoftJsonSerializer()
    {
        _jsonSerializerSettings = new JsonSerializerSettings
        {
            Converters = new List<JsonConverter>
            {
                new StringEnumConverter()
            }
        };
        _jsonSerializer = JsonSerializer.Create(_jsonSerializerSettings);
    } 
...
}

Expected behavior

var query = container.GetItemLinqQueryable<Foo>();
query = query.Where(foo => foo.Status == Status.StatusA);
Console.WriteLine(query.ToQueryDefinition().QueryText);

SELECT VALUE root FROM root WHERE (root["Status"] = "StatusA")

Actual behavior SELECT VALUE root FROM root WHERE (root["Status"] = 0)

Environment summary SDK Version: 3.17.1 Windows 10 Working with Cosmos Emulator

Additional context

public class Foo
{
    [JsonConverter(typeof(StringEnumConverter))]
    public FooStatus Status { get; set; }
}

This configuration works as intended.

@HMoen but that is what I don’t want the developers to do. Most of the time the dev is going to decorate the Enum in the end instead of always doing this. It becomes almost meaningless that I have centralized a serialization strategy. (without considering if I want to do something completely strange in the serializer, this wouldn’t solve my problem)
