I’ve had success using tippecanoe to generate mvt tiles from geojson sources, which in turn came from various sources (osm and otherwise) from QGIS. I didn’t look into this project too much but it appears to be bundling mvt tiles into a single file? Either way, straight up mvt tiles are easy to generate and can be easily hosted statically on any web server/s3 bucket/cdn.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Much of this vocabulary is still foreign to me but you've given me some the relevant keywords to Google.

One of the main challenges when entering a highly specialised field is finding the vocabulary to express yourself.

I'd also recommend having a look at https://openmaptiles.org/. They have workflows and editors for working with MVT and Maplibre. You can combine a base map from maplibre with other sources using Openlayers [0]
