There seems to be enough room in the enclosure to solder on some pin headers to both sides of the ESP-12. That would make getting access to them a lot easier than trying to rig up a custom 3D printed pogo pin setup.

Other than that, this is exactly what I've been looking for. I have an old wireless outlet (controlled by a RF remote) that I rigged up a Raspberry Pi Zero to, but that is a lot of effort compared to soldering some headers and flashing a new firmware.

Now all we need is some good software to securely integrate this with other IoT systems.

Something like Sonoff-Tasmota (and many other similar projects) provides MQTT support, which works nicely with pretty much any IoT setup.
