The arduino nano esp32 did work with the Arduino IDE, with Visual Studio Code and Platformio, but no chance to download a build with ESPhome.
Configuration with ESPhome:

Any tips how this board works with ESPhome?
By the way is there a way to use the ESPhome library with Arduino or Visual Studio as IDE?

Yes. Yaml code is just a text file you can edit from most text editors and IDEs. However the I in IDE usually means Integrated, and you may find difficulties with that when trying to invoke compiling the results for ESPHome use.

What are you struggling with?
If something isn’t working, check the logs and see if things are being logged. The Home Assistant log is available in the UI, though information on custom components only appears in the log file on disk, or you can check them using the command line - ha core logs. Keep in mind that the UI will only show errors, and other entries may be helpful and relevant. Other sources will include:
Home Assistant log file homeassistant.log
Supervisor log
Add-on logs
For automations and scripts make sure to include the debug trace . Downloading and sharing the trace’s .json file is an efficient way to provide us with information about how your automation is designed an what is failing.
The more you tell us, the more likely it is that the problem can be identified.
