Your eCoPR means you are a Canadian Permanent Resident - even if you don't have your card yet, so crossing into Canada at land borders and even at airports shouldn't be a problem with proper ID (i.e. your US passport). Being able to board a plane to fly to Canada could be a problem, as the airlines don't recognize an eCoPR document - though, as you point out, the pandemic rules are easing, so they may just wave you through. Most likely you'll not have an issue getting back to Canada without your PR card, but you might want to consider returning to a US airport close to the Canadian border and driving (or walking) across. CBSA should have no issue letting you into the country with proper ID.
