My thoughts exactly on using ESPHome.

My familiarity with float switches is limited to boats. Any you would recommend for this application?

I just noticed that you're using a mains-powered pump, so don't splice its wires directly. Instead, insert the float switch on one of the wires between the QT Py and the relay.

A condensate safety drain switch is appropriate here.
