The idea has merit, but it's not quite there yet. For one thing, you will have to physically visit a police department in Estonia in order to get your E-residency card - TWICE.

Once to file an application and then it will take up to 14 days for them to perform a background check. After which you will again have to physically appear at a police station in Estonia.

In the future this can supposedly be done through Estonian embassies but those are not exactly everywhere either.



They are changing the rules so you do not need to physically be there. I believe that is already in place.
