I am surprised no one has posted about this, but Yifan Lu just released today (7/30/2017) usbmc. This will work with Enso to auto mount USB storage.
Quote from Yifan Lu's email update from indiegogo:
"While the boards are being assembled, I've completed the software installer for this project: https://github.com/yifanlu/usbmc
As a bonus, it works with PSTVs as well (with standard USB storage).
The installation process from a brand new non-hacked Vita is as simple as it can be (compared to some consoles where a 45-min install process is considered simple).
Use HENkaku update server to update to 3.60.
Install HENkaku.
Install HENkaku Ensō.
Screw in psvsd and install usbmc."

Tested and working great on my Vita TV! Just passing along the amazing work by Yifan Lu.

This version (v4) of USBMC was news to me but it seemed to have been floating around for people with access to the Enso beta. Anyway, to clarify, I think Yifan Lu developed USBMC originally for the work on psvsd (3G Vita handheld), but it also works to auto mount usb drives on Vita TV with the official Enso release. I have only tried it on my Vita TV 3.60 with Enso. It works great and Yifan Lu has a readme for it at: https://github.com/yifanlu/usbmc/blob/master/README.md
Key point seems to be for installation: Install the USBMC vpk BEFORE plugging in the USB drive
Installation instructions from the Readme.md

usbmc
This is VitaShell's patches for USB storage support as a standalone plugin. If loaded on startup (before SceShell), it will automatically mount the USB storage as ux0 instead of the memory card or internal memory.
Full credits to The_FloW for the patches.
Note: When using USB storage as memory, make sure all taiHEN plugins are installed to ur0: with ur0:tai/config.txt as the config file. This is because taiHEN is loaded before usbmc so you cannot use taiHEN plugins installed to USB.

Installation
- Make sure your USB storage drive is formatted to a single FAT, FAT32, or exFAT partition using the MBR partition scheme.
- Install the vpk
- Run usbmc to start the installer
- Press X to install the plugin.
- Reboot
- Open the usbmc installer again.
- Press X to start the memory card installation.
- Choose to either copy VitaShell/molecularShell to the USB storage or copy everything from your memory card to the USB storage, replacing any files already on there.
- Once the copying is complete, press X to shut down the Vita.
- Remove your old memory card to start using your USB storage as a memory card.
- Insert a Sony memory card or remove the USB storage if you have internal memory (PSTV and PCH-2000).
- Install the usbmc vpk to that memory card.
- Launch the installer and use the Triangle option to uninstall.
Memory Card Priority
- Vita memory card will be used if inserted.
- USB storage will be used if inserted and formatted correctly.
- Internal memory will be used if it exists (PSTV and PCH-2000).
