Vector tiles in QGIS 3.14

In case anyone was wondering what the broader appeal here is—the plugin is not specific to MapTiler.

It looks like any Mapbox GL JSON compatible-theme can be used (https://github.com/maptiler/qgis-maptiler-plugin#load-a-map-...), which includes most vector and raster styles from Mapbox, Stadia Maps, Jawg Maps, and many others.

(Disclosure: I cofounded Stadia Maps.)

This seems cool. In the recent past, I have made custom styles in mapbox studio, then used that as a basemap (via WMTS) in qgis. The dealbreaking issue at the time was that when exporting my maps to PDF, the basemap elements would scale based on the export’s DPI. So, a high quality map would have teensy street labels, and was thus unreadable.

So, curious to see if this new method of loading tiles resolves this issue (or, if a more recent version of Q resolves it - as I was using the previous LTS last time I tried this).
