Based on my limited understanding it seems to be possible to use (Not training) these models using C# and the ONNX runtime without needing any Python or other dependencies installed (would need to download the models manually). https://github.com/snakers4/silero-models#onnx=

Is this correct?

For STT models - yes. For TTS models - not yet.

Awesome. Is there an active plan to make the TTS models available on ONNX? Or is it something that is possible but is not being worked on right now? Is there an issue / ticket somewhere that I can follow (Or should I create one?)

It is possible, albeit with a significant simplification of the capabilities of the models (i.e. all of the SSML stuff will be left out).

Also ONNX boasts native quantization that just works.

But we are not currently actively working on this. Most likely ONNX will only be available only for commercial customers for special buds, but we are not decided on this yet.
