Interesting. I hope you figure out the gas gauge situation.
2018 EcoSport Titanium Digital Instrument Cluster upgrade
So… after finding a 2020 Escape cluster for a rather decent price (only $300) I caved and went ahead and bought it!
To my surprise, it worked immediately, with the exception of the gas gauge (not sure what the solution to this is currently)
The plastic did need a bit of modification, but after I figure out the gas gauge issue, this should be a well suited replacement.

After following the pin outs for both the Ecosport and the Escape, I bridged pins 9-10 and 1-2. No luck so far as far as gauge readings go. Might have to buy a 2020 Escape fuel sender unit.
EDIT: If I can figure out what the resistance values are for the 2020 Escape's sender unit, this might actually be easier (i.e. I can just make a bridge board)
Right now, the EcoSport is reporting an average of 56 ohms (which equates to half a tank, according to the original cluster).
The Escape cluster also outputs a 12VAC signal which is… odd? The Ecosport outputs a 4.5VDC signal
EDIT2: The Escape cluster generates a 50hz signal on both pins, whereas the Ecosport generates a 5hz signal on pin 2 only.

Got the gas gauge situation taken care of. All the IPC parameters were reset to 0 including the tank size lol. It was also trying to read the gas from the PCM instead of the IPC. So this mod should be a simple plug+play with programming and plastic molding 
(still need to figure out how to disable the rear seatbelt monitor on the IPC though)
EDIT: restoring the Asbuilt codes from the Ecosport IPC solved all of my issues
