@ruig25 Can you please try if the released esptool v4.5 from today does work too? Just made a package. You can use with
platform_packages = tool-esptoolpy @ https://github.com/tasmota/esptool/releases/download/v4.5/esptool-4.5.zip

Works!

From the Arduino log. There is esptool v4.2.1 used. So try with this version. Hope I have remembered the syntax correctly for using a espressif release. Can’t try at the moment

platform_packages = tool-esptoolpy @ https://github.com/espressif/esptool.git#tree/v4.2.1

esptool PlatformIO vs Arduino command side by side comparision (full paths were cut to simplify the overview):

It’s not entirely accurate to compare the upload commands for Arduino and ESP-IDF. Anyway, according to https://github.com/espressif/esptool/issues/808, esptool v4.3 might help here, so could try you downgrading the tool-esptoolpy package?

[env:...]
platform = espressif32
board = adafruit_feather_esp32s3_nopsram
framework = espidf

platform_packages = 
   tool-esptoolpy @ ~1.40300.0
