There is also the concept of "Shared local datasets":
https://docs.qfield.org/how-to/outside-layers/?h=local
It is useful if you need the same dataset (orthophoto/basemap) in
different projects.

You didn't explain
- How much data is too much?
- What happens in terms of data if you just use an OSM mapnik
basemap
+ in particualr, what if you open qfield on wifi and pan around to
all the places you are going to be, to cause it to fetch data.
Note that OSM requires that users of its tile service cache data
for a reasonable period of time (7 days?), and thus QField
should
be caching.
- What size area you are operating in?
I mean to ask "are you really sure you have a problem that needs
solving?"
It is straigthforward to make a raster image of a small area and use
that via "copy" in the now-oddly-named "cable" export. (I use
nextcloud
to exchange bits, not an actual cable...)
Making something that can cover a larger area at varying resolution
probably involves some sort of tiles-in-sqlite format.
In general, the only map data that I'm aware of with licensing that
permits this sort of use is OpenStreetMap, and in the US, government
data from the federal government and a number of states. (I have no
knowledge.de <http://knowledge.de>, but I'd expect similar -- OSM
and maybe government.)
