The eventual goal is to get more compatibility with polars. There is still a bit of work missing (but this PR can probably stand on its own).
At the dataset level we should ensure that all files share the same dictionary within the dataset (we have some of this code so maybe it's just a matter of adding tests or ensuring myself it is still working)
A more tricky change is finding a way for polars to start using an extension array for the enum type. I'll try and open an issue and see if there is any interest in it.
