AT&T Prepaid - Walked into corporate location and was able to activate eSIM on my XS Max. Took maybe 5 minutes total to get it setup.
What do you they need to setup AT&T PrePaid. It's good that it was easy, but also sounds like it's easy for someone to steal your PrePaid number. Previously to steal your PrePaid number someone would have to have your physical SIM card.

That is extremely weird.
Restores with iTunes never erase eSIMs, and via the iPhone settings it explicitly asks whether or not you want to keep the eSIM...

That’s incorrect. After 1-2 days, the QR code can’t be used to reprovision the phone. It will give an error message.
Also it can’t be used for phone swap. Once you activate it on a phone, it can only be reinstalled on that same phone for 1-2 days after which it expires but once never on another phone.

For the foreseeable future I'll be getting a new iPhone every year since I'm on the Upgrade Program. I also have a AT&T PrePaid number. An AT&T Store said I could have my main number on the eSIM or the PrePaid, which do you think is better? Currently, I have my PrePaid number on an old iPhone so I was thinking of having both numbers on the same iPhone. But I plan to do some international traveling, and wonder if it's easier to get a temporary international plan on a physical SIM or an eSIM?
If PrePaid is on the eSIM, is it easy to take it off when I travel internationally to install a temporary international plan, and then put back the PrePaid when I get back home?
