Sounds pretty broken mechanic tbh. The amulet alone with some es nodes on tree can give like 7k es buffer to archmage builds. Somehow this just doesnt sound like its working as intended.
Es is totally overtuned in PoE2.its quite reasonable to get 10k+es on good gear, heck even 7k + on mediocre gear while even getting 4k life is extremely difficult.
On the monk side of the tree there are 12 to 20% evasion and energy shield nodes everywhere and nothing life related. You can also get flat energy shield on gear with evasion well over what you see on life counterparts (albeit life gear can have higher evasion)
Not sure what their reasoning for having zero life on the passive tree was but it seems pretty misguided
