So far, I have found that both PayPal and Meta use a phone number verification that rejects not only jmp.chat (XMPP) Jabber numbers (which is to be expected) but also silent.link inbound US IDENTITY numbers. Using silent.link for two-factor authentication (2FA) is the main reason to have this eSIM, in addition to the Data Only eSIM plan. And before you say, "Well, I don't use PayPal or Meta, so who cares?" - I'm betting it won't be long before other companies, banks, etc. start using a similar verification system. So, unfortunately, I no longer see silent.link as a reliable option for ditching your local mobile provider completely for 2FA.
