Isn't detune done in driver that talks to the hardware and not in hardware?

ESFM is still made to be OPL family compatible part, and OPL family lacks some of the parameters of other families (OPN, OPM in particular) and the range they got. Freq register and TL are smaller for example, while SL and Detune are missing altogether and this alone will make it difficult to get many of the sounds to be correct.
Detune could be done in software since every op has its own freq register on ESFM although I am unsure what the precision limit will be since detune applies to the Phase Generator directly rather than to the freq and then to PG. But in the end it will only be an approximation and exact results are not going to be possible to achieve and many sounds do need the exact pathway to sound right.

If you are refererring to algorithms 2, 3 and 4 of the OPL3 and https://www.fit.vutbr.cz/~arnost/opl/opl3.html#chapter2-2 is correct about the 4-op OPL3 modes, I don't think your statement is true. None of these modes have two modulators affecting one carrier. Instead, the OPL3 modes are:
In ESFM, you get a chain of 4 operators, but it can be interrupted, i.e. split into multiple chains, at any point by setting "MOD" in operator register 6 to zero on the operator you want to be the start of a new subchain. You can only apply feedback to the first of the four operators in the ESFM chain, but this also is the same as it is in 4op OPL3 synthesis.
Would it be possible to make a chorus effect with ESFM, as there is no native support for it?

No, I was referring to the ones on the OPM/OPN chips, and keyboards like the DX-100, etc.
