Is there a guarantee that Google won't add this feature in the future? What if people lost their phones etc.?

I think the risk is too big. Use U2F, or something similar.

If you lose your phone you simply contact customer support to mail you a new SIM card (Not sure how it works with eSIM, but I assume something similar)
