You should definitely declare both nationalities on the ESTA form, but you only Need to bring the passport the ESTA is tied to

Nope. You use the one you intend to travel with/as.

Eg, I have dual NZ and South African citizenship. The South African passport is awful to travel on, and I can get ESTA for the US. So I apply for the ESTA, and travel, using my NZ passport. I’ve done this regularly.

From the US ESTA page:

If you have dual citizenship and have registered with ESTA, you should
use your VWP-eligible passport to board the plane when you leave your
country of departure and when you arrive in the U.S. If both your
countries of citizenship are VWP-eligible, then we strongly recommend
you choose which one you want to claim for purposes of travel to the
U.S., and use that country’s passport each time you travel. One person
with two different ESTA authorizations creates confusion that will
only delay your travel.
