That 3 pack of ESP32-S3 chips on Amazon for $18 did the trick.
Just created a new program in SMILE, connected the flashed ESP to the Switch 2 and it started writing everything. After saving it as NS2, just ran the LOAD, RUN, REMOVE and V=START commands to get it running. The LOAD, RUN and REMOVE commands don't change but the V=START one does.
bth posted a sketch earlier that made it so you could push whatever text to have the ESP type via a web page. Helped with that changing V=START command.
I added a dedicated button to issue the ESP32 to write just (embedded in the esp32 sketch .ino):
LOAD "TXT:NS2"
RUN
REMOVE NSR,&H60000000,&H3FFFFFFF
