Mark, I'm just curious, what's wrong with going the E-sim route? I didn't have any trouble changing the physical sim-card from my iPhone 8 to my 13 pro max. However, if apple is going the e-sim route, then personally I'd go with that option. However, again, I hope you can find what you are looking for.
