eSIM does not provide any performance benefit over a physical SIM. A SIM (eSIM or Physical SIM) has no data on it except the network login information to your carrier.

Benefits of an eSIM:

Your phone can be activated without a trip to the carrier store or waiting for the SIM card to arrive by mail.

When traveling you can activate a local eSIM over the internet before you even get to your destination.
