GGG devs, Chris and John used "Diablo-Like" a bunch in their interviews and stuff like that, back in the day

How times change. Time for Poe-like to be the go to term.

Ah man it's so satisfying to see Rod Ferguson getting salty over PoE 2. FIX YOUR DAMN GAME ROD. Man I still love Diablo 4, but Blizzard should really be embarrassed at this point. Oh and to answer your ES dilemma (as I understand it at least) you are dealing with a double replacement effect. Normally yes, your energy shield takes damage before Life. But with that modifier you were looking at it makes your mana take damage before Life. Your shield SHOULD still take the damage first, because you are technically still taking damage it's just you have multiple substitutions going at once. I cannot confirm this 100% because obviously I have not played PoE 2, but I HAVE seen this exact interaction before in other games and assuming GGG has implemented it correctly, that's how it should work. Again, to be clear - even though your mana is meant to be hit first, your energy shield should still have priority over it because it has priority over life and your mana is being substituted for life therefore the shield takes the hit first.
