HPDE, leave ESC on or off? Objective - become a better driver

Good topic.  In my more limited experience, I agree with the above comments.  Some other considerations are that most newer cars have had significant HP gains, increasing the chances of a mishap with novice drivers.  Also, plenty of vehicles have staged ESC settings, allowing a progressive increase in thresholds.  Finally, ESC etc. can be used as a learning tool, provided the driver is cognizant of when it engages.
