The XR, XS iPhones feature eSIM capability. Assume that the user lives in the US and uses T-mobile. Does it make sense to use the eSIM with the home carrier or to use it with roaming carriers the Caribbean and EU countries?
If I assign the eSIM to T-mobile (USA), can I expect the phone to roam exactly as if it had a conventional SIM card?

The eSim can be used both for home and roaming as indicated by Apple's Website:
Here are a few of the many ways you can use Dual SIM:
- Use one number for business and another number for personal calls.
 
- Add a local data plan when you travel outside of the country or region.
 
- Have separate voice and data plans.

The physical and eSIMs both have full functionality in iPhone. You can select whichever you want to use for data, imessage, etc. in Settings.
There are still not many carriers that support eSIM. Going for eSIM as your home SIM makes a lot of sense if you have a carrier that supports it (like T-Mobile) since you will not have to search for a carrier that supports eSIM wherever you travel and want a secondary SIM.
On the other hand, having a physical SIM as your home SIM allows you to buy eSIMs which are sometimes available through the local carriers apps saving you having to buy a physical chip.
