Comment (by lbartoletti):

 You're right, a MultiPolygon will always invalid.

 I think that I used
 [https://gitlab.com/sfcgal/SFCGAL/-/blob/master/src/algorithm/straightSkeleton.cpp?ref_type=heads#L492
 MultiPolygon] type because it was simpler (and what we have done for
 subdivde in QGIS).
 But it's true that we have an SRF in PostGIS. In fact, we can also return
 a SRF for CG_StraightSkeleton. However, in the case of SFCGAL, I think
 it's probably more appropriate to do a PolyhedralSurface (moreover
 PolyhedralSurface and TIN are well-supported in QGIS now). What do you
 think?
