That's not a problem with eSims, that's just a problem with your custom ROM not shipping with absolutely basic functionality
Much more likely to be the phone vendor not releasing this "absolutely basic functionality" to customisers. Some vendors hate their customers having freedoms.
I don't think it was a basic problem, but something to do with vendor's implementation of it not being in the device tree and so it could not just be copied over as a binary blob
