This should be far more secure and privacy friendly than a Sim card of a cellular connection. Why isn’t this done more often? What are the Pros and Cons. I bet the price is similar as well.

You can keep your cell number with jmp.chat. Call over wifi or data. They offer eSIM. View text messages on any device/program with XMPP support. 2FA works 100% like normal unlike VoIP. All data, calls, texts are routed through their VPN first, then the cell network. Any other inhouse XMPP chat not going to networks stay within XMPP. I have no affiliation with jmp.chat, I am satisfied with the service.
I would switch to jmp immediately if only it were available in Germany.
Is an eSIM vulnerable to the same security risks as a physical SIM?
What security risks are you considering for physical SIM?
SIM cards are a computing device that can execute closed source code on your device, sent from a cell tower
Most of the zero days used by NSO Group that were reported by Citizen Lab only worked if you had a SIM card. By eliminating SIM cards, you decrease the surface area of attack by magnitudes
