I have done this but only through Airalo. I am also interested in the MVNOs that you're using for Japan and the US.

If I know that I'll be heading to a location with cheap tourist SIMs, such as Singapore, I'll just buy a physical SIM upon arrival.

I'm looking ahead to a trip I have booked to the Cook Islands in 5 months, and none of my usual options have coverage: T-Mobile, Solis (Skyroam), or even Airalo. Vodafone Cook Islands does have an eSIM available with remote provisioning for NT$49 ~= US$30 for 10 GB data, 30 minutes of talk time (including to some international destinations), and 300 texts. I then have to decide whether to unplug for a few days or stay connected.
