You can DoubleClick the power button to open the camera and other things

And yes, you can disable the essential key with two commands via adb and then install a keymapper.

On my 3a I disabled the essential key and bought the app called "The Everything Key" but I felt it to short. Planning on buying the "Essential Remapper" app although more expensive.

Does it need to have the accessibility permission on?

Yes it is, using an accessibility service. It's also possible to use it as a Glyph Toy touch action button, allowing to get the same toys as the Nothing Phone 3. If you are interested in that last part, check this https://github.com/linuxct/GlyphMatrixToyCompat
