The bigger question is how easily you would manage having two SIMs, some combination of physical and eSIM, and making sure to manage the correct one.
I briefly tried it on an iPhone, wasn't sure that it was using the data from the local eSIM vs. my main T-Mobile eSIM.
So I've tended to install the eSIM or physical SIM on my iPad Air 5th gen, which works out well because I'm using it as hot spot and the bigger battery is probably better and even if your battery runs down, you don't have as urgent a need for having charge on an iPad as you would on your phone.
