For me the difference is that Esc is on keydown and Caps Lock is on keyup because I use xcape to map Caps Lock as Escape when tapped (pressed and released in less than 0.5 seconds) and setxkbmap to map Caps Lock as Control when pressed and held or use in a key combination.
I use SharpKeys (a tiny standalone .exe) for this. I used to use AutoHotkey for remapping but can't really recommend it as it works software-level, so if you press the key too fast (e.g. holding it down) sometimes the capslock still bleeds through. SharpKeys directly writes to the registry to it's a very low-level change, and once applied it doesn't need a daemon running 24/7 for it to work. You can just remove the program after that (but I keep it installed).
I set it up with https://github.com/ambirdsall/dots/blob/15b660d81c2513b3f20f5c1b71ae2ce2a878011d/.config/i3/config#L27-L28 and https://github.com/ambirdsall/dots/blob/15b660d81c2513b3f20f5c1b71ae2ce2a878011d/.Xmodmap. Haven’t found a simpler way on linux; on macOS, it’s easier (use Karabiner Elements).
I'm using evremap. Simple to set up and just works.
I did this with kmonad.
