Best experience I got for me was remapping § (non_us_backslash) to esc with karabiner. The only downside is I sometimes miss the escape key on mechanical keyboards, because I got used to it..
Edit: Whoops, just realised this only makes sense for non US layouts (I'm using a Swiss layout). Guess you need your ~ key, this is what my top-left key looks like:

You kinda can. I couldn't get karabiner to work with the latest versions.
It's weird what gets changed in MacOS versions. For every thing they fix they bring in some other unnecessary restriction.
Apple don't use ISO layouts, so their "UK" keyboard is a half US, half UK and half Stargate DHD.
Are you saying Karabiner doesn't work with macOS Catalina? Another reason not to upgrade :D I'm using a fantastic Microsoft Keyboard with Mac and Karabiner is essential :D

The newest MacOS lets you remap capslock to escape, so it'll work like real operating systems.
You can do this with karabiner on all OS versions
And even take it to a crazy level with this: github.com/Vonng/Capslock

I'm not certain if it does now; it didn't when I upgraded.
