#3Another easy shot at it is to install your proxy server for OSM tiles [these are served with a simple API from OSM site] and cache the images locally with periodic purge every six months, for example.
For giving back to the community, you can share your proxy server with others.

OSM does not serve vector tiles, so if you want to style the map this will not work.

#5The way I've done this is to use planettiler to generate vector tiles for the whole world and then pack that into a squashfs archive. That way I don't need an additional program to serve them, and I can regenerate the whole archive every couple of months or so (I don't need the latest data).

An exciting new standard here is pmtiles; a standardized way to store map tiles that can be used via http range requests. I believe planettiler has plans to add pmtiles output support as well.

#7Would be much better if this involved hosting on a normal webserver, rather than requiring a specific one. Another piece of software to keep up-to-date, just for maps.

If you skipped the "convert to MBTiles" part, you could host it on a normal web server... the issue is that requires each tile to be a separate file, and copying hundreds of millions of tiny files is brittle, slow, and expensive. Having a specialized web server lets us use a more effective file format for the data.

#9Oh nice! I didn't know there was a Desktop version of MapTiler to make mbtiles! Instead I have followed pretty much the same but with tilemaker, which allows you to process your osm files through a LUA script to generate mbtiles

The highest zoom levels are generally generated on demand, as there’s so many tiles.
Zoom level 20 is over a trillion tiles, most of them worthless blue sea tiles. We’re probably talking hundreds of terabytes just for the file system metadata, to say nothing of the tiles themselves.
Of course, you could forego the ability to zoom in very far.
