If you need a backend anyway I like using postgis ST_AsMVT and caching the result. So pretty much running a sql query on the database every time the map is moved and then caching it. Super easy to maintain, don't have to pregenerate anything. Just bust the cache when necessary.

Exactly! I run a service that handles >1M tile requests per month served directly from PostGIS with ST_AsMVT etc. and file caching.
