Essence Channeler’s last ability puts all counters that were on Essence Channeler onto the target creature, not just its +1/+1 counters.
wotc26 Jul 2024
Each creature with lifelink dealing combat damage causes a separate life-gaining event. For example, if two creatures you control with lifelink deal combat damage at the same time, Essence Channeler’s second ability will trigger twice. However, if a single creature you control with lifelink deals combat damage to multiple creatures, players, planeswalkers, and/or battles at the same time (perhaps because it has trample or was blocked by more than one creature), the ability will trigger only once.
wotc26 Jul 2024
If you gain an amount of life “for each” of something, that life is gained as one event and Essence Channeler’s second ability triggers only once.
wotc26 Jul 2024
In some unusual cases, you may end up putting the appropriate counters on more than one permanent. For example, if you control The Ozolith when Essence Channeler dies, you’ll put the appropriate number of each kind of counter onto both The Ozolith and the target creature.

Once Essence Channeler has been blocked by a creature without flying or reach, losing life to give it flying and vigilance won’t cause it to become unblocked.
wotc26 Jul 2024
Essence Channeler’s last ability doesn’t cause you to move counters from Essence Channeler onto the target creature. Rather, you put the same number of each kind of counter Essence Channeler had when it died onto the target creature.
