    ENHC (dealer takes all), NSr, No Insurance.

    How many seasoned pros/counters would play a game that included these rules (in particular the latter 3):
    6D,S17,DAS,RSA,ENHC (dealer takes all), NSr, no insurance.

    If so, what would be the absolute minimum requirements in terms of other conditions, i.e. penetration, limits, boxes?

    Not a bad game, house edge 0.50% (ballpark). Though I am not factoring in the cost of no insurance. Not sure exactly how detrimental that is, it is the most profitable index. Though I'm sure this game's still beatable.

    All depends on limits and no heat

    It’s a lot higher than .5. Remember, insurance is your most valuable index. Surrender adds 1/3 to your win rate and you don’t have it. Enhc adds a whack to house edge also. S17 is not enough to overcome.

    Penetration normally 2 decks cut-off.
    Low table maxs: 100 - 200
    Possibility to play all boxes max bet.
    Heat with regular bets over 100

    When I say no insurance, only even money against dealer Ace is allowed.

    A lack of insurance will not affect the house edge, as that figure represents the expected loss of a basic strategist, and the basic strategist does not take insurance.

    Wizard of Vegas house edge calculators shows 0.45%. So, sure, I'd probably play, if there was nothing better around.

    .
    Maybe so, but you’re not a basic strategist, and that loss comes right off your top line.
