Beyond securing my 1Password details in an Escrow account, or with a lawyer, or in a bank lockbox, does 1Password offer any mean...

thedean thanks but my email is protected by 2FA so just the password wouldn't be enough (can't assume they'd have access to my authenticator app, what if my phone is lost with me). Also, what happens if the trusted person's 1P account gets hacked for some reason (trusting them doesn't mean they chose a good password and/or kept their secret/recovery key safe, etc).
The larger issue is that we shouldn't need these convoluted work arounds, 1P should ideally provide a true emergency-access-if-something-happens-to-me solution the same way LastPass does, and since recovery keys are now a thing, it's technically possible, it just has to be implemented. Hopefully they'll get around to it.
