Could you insulate the walls of the enclosure also? I assume the hot water
line is insulated?

Our water heater is in a small ecnlosure on the back porch.
In winter time the outside temp can drop into the 30's.

I know that modern water heaters are well insulated,
but there's gotta be some heat loss if the surrounding
air is 35 degrees.....

Use a "blanket" over the water heater ?
