I'm thinking something like a 256x256 16bit grayscale image, with each pixel corresponding to a height (say +/- 32768 metres). Maybe with a secondary monochrome mask tile for the voids. There is a nicely cleaned up dataset out there, but it's not compatible with the OSM licence, so I'd like to kickstart making something that is. As for maintaining a map rendering, yes it's a challenge, but managing large datasets is my stock-in-trade :) Just to be clear, the sort of tiles I’m thinking of wouldn’t be suitable for using directly under a regular map render.

If producing your own cartography, then good luck, but we aware that maintaining it all is a very big commitment to make - I've tried it myself in the past.
