Cellphone e-sims (alien.top)

I'm considering buying iPhone 15 in US and read that there's no physical sim card slot, so it's only e-sim.

Will this work in every country? Has anyone here been nomadding just with e-sims?

I want to make sure I want get caught out in a country with simply no ability to get a sim.

I don't go anywhere too wild like Yemen, Afghanistan, etc.

But I like to visit countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, Peru, Paraguay, etc.

Thanks for any help!

Don‘t buy an eSim-only phone, if you don‘t have to. You will likely find a solution in most countries, but you will mostly pay a premium and you will at times be stuck with bad providers and you will loose a ton of convenience when you can‘t just get a Sim from the good provider with good plans just from the next corner store with a simple transaction anymore.
