I was not aware that _any_ Espressif hardware even supported classic bluetooth other than the very first ESP32 (which I am not sure if they're even available). And I was getting around 50ms latency back then (with the original ESP32 and SBC!)

What exactly did you try?

I’m using BLE GATT messaging with an upgrade path to L2CAP CoC channels for clients that support it. Roughly the path is: audio input -> opus encode -> BLE transmit -> smartphone/desktop. The latency floor ends up being ~80ms due to jitter buffer sizing, etc.

While this explains the bw limit, I'm still surprised re latency, it sounds really bad even for L2CAP.
