I haven't used a Happy Hacking Keyboard, but why not left ctrl -> escape and tilde remains tilde? Perhaps it's just my hands but I feel reaching left ctrl is easier than reaching the tilde key, and I imagine hitting escape is more frequent than tilde (?)

Hmm, it's the opposite for me, somehow reaching my ring finger toward tilde just feels easier than curling my left pinky downward toward left ctrl. Plus my muscle memory is used to moving up and to the left to find escape.

I don't know about remapping ESC at all. You can get it by typing ^[ instead.
