Implementing an ECS system before anything else is a good way to find yourself spending time yak-shaving instead of actually building your game, and for most 2d games, YAGNI (at least not right away). My personal advice would be program some of the major game systems and objects you want for your game first, they'll probably take you longer than expected but at least you'll have something that actually resembles game play and not just a framework for building a game. If you get to the point where you need ECS for performance or organizational reasons you'll probably have a good idea of how you want it to work by then instead of guessing at how you'll use it.
