I use a physical SIM card for my personal line and an E sim for my work line and receive calls and texts on one device. Is there a way to have 2 separate texts inboxes, one for my contacts that use my personal line and a second one for my contacts that use my work line?

There is not a separate inbox for each SIM on the iPhone Messages app. However, you can filter messages by SIM, which is the closest built-in solution I can think of:
Go to Settings > Apps > Messages, and turn on "Filter Unknown Senders".
In the Messages app, tap the three-dot menu (top right).
You'll see options to view messages from "All Lines", your personal SIM "Personal", and your work SIM "Work".
Make sure you are label your lines (SIM and eSIM you're using) clearly as "Personal" or "Work" in the Settings > Cellular menu for this to work.
