My question: what's the impact of replacing a supercap with one with a
higher ESR?


Logic would dictate it would discharge quicker but my logic is usually
flawed.


Considering that the draw on these caps is usually measured in
microamps, I doubt the higher ESR is going to effect how well
it works.

Maybe might make a bit of difference in how long it takes to
fully charge though.
