I’ve done something similar with tippecanoe and mapshaper from gis files. That allowed me to use mapbox.js with my own hosted custom maps, as flat files. Very fast but still needed to run a server (tileserver-gl-light). This could negate that, very cool!
It does. Recently migrated a project from a tile server to PMTiles, and now tile generation is just part of CI in the kart repo where the shapefiles are edited. CI passes and uploads the pmtiles file to the web server. Completely eliminated the tile server altogether.

This looks great!
