Dionysius, I would counter that the Buddhist would consider any implication irrelevant. There are the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path. What more? A Buddhist true to the teachings would also consider reincarnation and karma of no relevance. Enlightenment is of no relevance.
To a Buddhist, who is enlightened? No one.
While there is an intersection of Western Humanism and Eastern Buddhism, I think there is a problem with equating the two in this manner. The Western mindset is rather compulsive about dualistic thinking. The Buddhist considers that the root of sorrow.There is no reincarnating hero-monad to be saved, released or found. All life is sorrowful, and yet there is no self, no being, no entity in sorrow. ..."A man should believe neither in the idea of a thing nor in the idea of a no-thing." ~Joseph Campbell, Oriental Mythology
