An eSIM is the better choice for Aruba. eSIM coverage in Aruba is solid across the small island, with no registration hassle.
No — Aruba doesn't require passport/ID registration to get connected.
Buy your eSIM online before you fly (Airalo and similar marketplaces cover Aruba) and install the profile while you still have WiFi — it activates the moment you land.

A Saily eSIM (by the team behind NordVPN) installs on your phone before you fly, activates automatically when you land in Aruba, and gives you prepaid data at local prices in 190+ countries — no physical SIM, no contract, no surprise bill.
