Daniel, the only real difference between serving every available language
and serving just one is cache fragmentation, and that's may be different in
your case.

The vector tiles get pre-generated the same way, and they simply contain
all languages instead of one. Disk space wise, the difference is
inconsequential.

Kartotherian dynamically picks the language during the rendering. There is
some (not yet measured, but hopefully very small) performance penalty doing
dynamic language picking, but that should not be a big impact in case of a
good caching in front of the rendering.  I would recommend simply putting a
few Varnish boxes in front of your rendering servers if you are ok with the
maps being a bit stale.
