If you've missed all the press and forums, the biggest rumors and speculations aren't far from your idea. Nothing about Enzo taking the Cure tho. However, technically speaking, the Cure can be sucked out of Elena and passed around, to a degree. She doesn't need to be drained, as Amara only took a good gulp from Silas. The area of concern is about old vampires having it sucked from them because of Katherine's rapid aging, so even tho Silas emptied her, I doubt they would risk it in smaller sips. That said, they could test certain scenarios. Like more than one vampire trying to drink from Elena. And if that doesn't work, a young one drinking from her and an old one from them.
If Bonnie turns with Enzo's blood, and decides she doesn't want to stay a vamp, she can drink from Elena, and another vampire from her, thus returning her to witch status. There's a lot they can play with involving this idea...It's not clear which vampires actually WANT to be cured now tho.
As for Nina, coming back only as Katherine is the way to get around anything involving Delena. What we know from the actors is that this is preferable. What we don't know is whether or not they are willing to just be professional and suck it up, doing what is best for the show/fans. It would be extremely difficult to wake Elena, have a living Damon around in the same timeline, and not have them share screen time, along with reunite as a couple. Ian shot his mouth off and stuck his foot in it REPEATEDLY in interviews and at cons, expressing how against any of this he is, along with making it clear he was upset by the notion of Nina returning. Check out the last cast interview, at comic con '16, to see what I mean.
Nina already wasn't too jazzed about coming back, so that's why no one can properly guess at what's actually going to transpire. Right now, it looks like she broke her promise to Julie and Co. that she'll so much as shoot the finale. But there's also a chance that they're trying to keep it quiet. Not such a great idea in this particular scenario and not a sensical one, but that doesn't mean it's not the reality. No one should be holding out hope for any appearances beyond the finale, but I personally think there actually still is a chance we will see her as Elena in 16.
