Snowpack (which also uses esbuild internally) has a webpack compatibility extension: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@snowpack/plugin-webpack -

FWIW that plugin does not make your existing webpack-based code magically work in snowpack. It's just using webpack to bundle your snowpack-based code.

Because my main quibble with webpack is that its API is a mess and sucks.

I can only imagine it's because the authors don't care, right? If they cared, they'd build it. But I think most of these bundlers are out to show you how great they are, and how you should drop everything to do things their way.

So, ultimately I think the answer is to say, "No, solve my problem, not yours."
