If I remember my history correctly ES was the American Morse method of
sending an ampersand. Leigh was quite correct in mentioning this proword
as using the half step much like DE uses. My favorite drift was the
original HO HO to HEE HEE to HI HI. Much like the great vowel shift of
Middle English which was still sliding while William Shakespeare was
writing his plays and sonnets. Some of his rhymes no longer work in our
English but they did then.
My vote is to use the old methods and allow the ampersand its due.

Do you really want to remap words/abbreviations (like the 2 character
word "es" which is the symbol for the element einsteinium) in this
way? It's quite all right for prosigns like BT and the "..--"
mentioned in the operator's manual, but to me it violates the
principle of "least surprise" - is "es" is a word in other languages
expressed using International Morse?

We'll put this on the wish list, Leigh. Good idea.
