The extruder (cooling) is rated for max 40 degrees, so you need to keep below this.

I guess the question needed to be what is the coolest temperature that it needs to be for the best possible print without causing a problem?

I keep my enclosure at about 23C. No specific reason, apart from the fact it is enough to keep the humidity low as my filament is inside the enclosure during printing.

I doubt that there are many people who heat their enclosures, except those who do a lot of printing with ABS.

To be honest, the only reason I heat/cool my enclosure is that it is located in my garage. In winter it can be as low as 6-7C, even with a parasitic radiator, which is no good for printing.
