Nice work!

Do you also plan to port the code for vector tile server into QGIS server,
or do you want to keep it in the plugin? (It would be great to have it
integrated in vanilla QGIS server!)

Yeah that class is an internal implementation detail, the
QgsVectorTileWriter class is actually the one that should be used (also
used in the processing alg to make vector tiles). But if there's a reason
to have the MVTEncoder class in public API, we could make it public...

Let me note that the vector tile writing code is not as mature as the code
for reading vector tiles, so especially for some edge cases it may be good
to compare the output with a more mature generator like tippecanoe.
