'Dealing' with Esc for Vim would fall under RSI prevention in my book. Using Vim almost necessitates some form of easier switching modes; swapping Caps Lock, `jj`, etc. are all considered valid and 'normal' for the general Vim community and to say only one or even none of the options are "okay" in the company, well, unless it was my preference this would be an immediate resignation from me. That or the company better be shelling out and allowing time for employees to configure programmable keyboards they can pop in with their keys hardware configured.
