Vectrex ROM sizes?
This might be smaller than you were thinking... I'm sure you've run across Lucy Fauth's Sony Scopeman? I built a couple with the intention of making them Vectorboys (and on Youtube), but found limitations with the I2S DAC (needs I2C DAC) and no working blanking circuit. It also probably should have the yoke coil rewound, but for now software correction works. Emulating the Vectrex on the ESP32-WROVER should be possible, but certainly an FPGA core to emulate the hardware would make it more of a reality. We've been toying with this on the VEXTREME discord, in the #vectorboy channel... also trying to get one of those 4" CRTs from Aliexpress working.

Vectrex ROM sizes?
Hiya Spritetm! I'm super stoked to read you are working on this! 64KB bankswitched via PB6 is probably the highest you need to support with 128KB of RAM. There are quite a few of these 64KB games available, and many collectors also dump their ROMs to put on personal multicarts (and would want to put on a portable Veccy). Yes, Vectorblade uses more, but also Telengard uses the same form factor as Vectorblade. Part of that 192KB form factor that makes it great is the game state save/recall feature. That's likely a super stretch goal for a portable Vectrex though... I mean... portable Vectrex!! That's gotta be the main focus :D
What are some alternatives?
When comparing sony-scopeman and Telengard you can also consider the following projects:
Vectorblade - Vectorblade, a vectrex game and port of Warblade
VEXTREME - VEXTREME - Vectrex Multicart
