(I assume "holidays" here means US thanksgiving and today "weekend".)  As some
of the delays seem to stem from "internal project", how about hiring/funding
someone knowledgeable about the current Toolserver (or another tileserver)
setup and assisting *them* in setting it up at WMF instead of the other way
around which appears to be *far* more laborious?

Quotes like (emphasis added): "The *best* way to scale would be to render the
whole database to vector tiles.  The software setup for this is an *unknown* to
me (and I'm guessing most who aren't directly involved), [...]" make me cringe.
 Let's leave optimizing the code to people who actually know it.  A *lot* of
hardware can be bought before we need to throw away running code.
