I'm ill equipped to answer your question directly.
However, as you delve into the world of vector tiles I'd strongly
suggest taking a look a FlatGeoBuf (.fgb). It's an index format
supported by GDAL and MapServer. It's very fast and painless.
The home page has demo's for openlayers, leaflet and mapbox, using a
single 12GB census data file. Leaflet seems to be the most responsive.

Hi All,
For the first time, I am diving into actually using vector tiles and or
UTF grids on an OpenLayers map. I am confused about UTF grids,
especially I could not find clear answers whether UTFGrids have been
completely replaced by MB Tiles or if UTF Grids are now a subset of MB
Tiles. Posts on the web seem to suggest that UTF grids can be stored
inside MB Tiles
<https://medium.com/@pyin001/utfgrid-and-mbtiles-map-file-decoding-on-android-864487697752>.
Note that I am trying to stay outside the Mapbox empire (as much as
possible) and trying to use GDAL, MapServeretc.
GDAL can produce MB tiles (but not sure if that includes UTF grid info
as well) and MapServer can deliver UTF grid via WMS on the fly, but not
sure how performance is so far ...
Would anyone have some insights ?
Thanks
