Hello,
When you select a tool from the palette, there is no way to go back to the
default tool (selection tool) unless explicitly selecting it. Should there
be support for the Esc key in tools to go back to the default tool?

You could map a key->action in the palette's keyhandler.
Or, create a ResetToolAction and add it to the keybinding service, so that
ESC is received regardless of focus. But, this would interfere with
celleditors, which need to receive ESC

The first solution seems more reasonable (i.e: let the palette key handler
do it).
Shouldn't that be done in the default PaletteKeyHandler in GEF?

Sure, why not? Open a bugzilla. For 2.1.x you'll have to add it yourself.
