On another note, Tsubakura noticed the issue that I had mentioned on reddit, people will outright translate kaibokan as destroyer escort now. To be fair, that was back when the DE/PF issue hadn't came out of nowhere yet.

Though I'm not sure how does using other classification such as EE/ES will help alleviate the issue. All of them doesn't help one to remember that they're called coastal defense ship in the wikia.

Was the original plan is to rename coastal defense ship -> escort ship as well?
