That reminds me: Are the servo's and the ESP's GND connected together?

No. I have a separate power supply for each:
An external power supply connecting the ESP32 with 5V + GND.
And another power adapter with 7.4V connected with VCC and GND to the servo.

Then that's your problem. You must provide a common GND to both the ESP and the servo.
