The enclosure would decrease efficiency, not increase it. Many fridges have heat exchange pipes along the outer walls, insulating them would cause the phase change to take longer, requiring more on time for the compressor.

Of course you would need a fridge with exposed coils and a way to route the heat away. I’d look for one that’s designed to be built-in and does the air exchange at the front/bottom.
I have a counter-height wine fridge designed like this.
