If your phone is locked, then I wouldn’t bother. You won’t be able to insert a physical SIM from another carrier and have it work.
My phone is unlocked. It took the AT&T store 10 minutes to move my service to an eSIM. And half of that was waiting for the safe to open so they could get an eSIM kit out. When they first tried to scan the activation barcode, it gave an error about not being able to successfully activate the cellular plan, but after a quick reboot it activated just fine.
