I've been using a MacBook Pro 13" or 15" professionally for the last 9 years. I wouldn't use anything else. I don't use the touchbar but I don't mind it. I also appreciate that they are getting thinner and lighter as I regularly carry them in a bag on my shoulder or on my bike.

The weight for me was offset by the inconvenience of needing to carry dongles

In the same boat, the weight and lightness does matter to me and I'd be really pleased with an even lighter 15" - but it shouldn't come at the expense of reliability, obviously!

How do you press "Escape"? did you remap it to another key?

Not OP but I haven’t found the digital escape to be an issue.

I should say, I don't regularly use it. Yes I have to use the escape key and the occasional display brightness change. I mostly use a magic keyboard.
