The US ESTA is part of a

Tourist-
Visa waiver scheme.

If you aren't a tourist, you need a visa.

I'm optimistic that we won't need visas for casual travel within
Europe. As we were never part of Schengen, I'm hopeful that things
won't change much.

Almost all my extensive European travel has been on business.

Many, if not most, countries treat business activities (meeting suppliers,
clients, subsidiaries, having meetings etc.) as permissible within the same
visa exemption as tourism.
