It worked fine, no problems. Strangely the Europe plan was cheaper than the single country plan. Anyway, my conclusion is that you are correct, there is no reason to pay $4/GB, perfectly acceptable plans are available for $1-2 per GB.
To add insult to injury, when we got to Munich my daughters cheaper eSim worked fine, my more expensive eSim didn’t work, PDP authenication error. My rationale for using Airalo was that I have used them many times in the past and never had a problem and the cost difference is insignificant, less than $1 per day. Guess I won’t use that rationale again. Not a huge problem, we are just transiting overnight through Munich, but annoying. Airalo answered my help request promptly, suggesting I reset the phone. I tried toggling Airplane mode on and off and cellular service on and off with no success.
