Not only, the whole stuff about eSim (and iSim) might be an issue when you have a problem on your hardware (phone):

Yeah, sometimes the telcos have a self-service portal that gives you a new QR code. However, last time I needed it, my telcos service happily returned 500 so I was left without connectivity.

Also, eSIM backup transfers don't work between brands of Android phones (e.g. from Pixel to Samsung and back).
