Does this mean the issue lies within Flutter itself and not the libraries, or vice versa? What could be done to make this situation any better? Could Texture Layer Hybrid Composition help the performance in here if writing a new map library is inevitable? Many questions with no answers, share your ideas and expertise please!

Thanks for providing this useful information. The github issue is a big help! Digging deeper it seems the OP had created a standalone package called simple_platform_view to mitigate the performance drawbacks of hybrid composition, which is demoed in simple_google_maps_flutter. This could be a potential solution if we are able to do similar but with maplibre/mapbox native libraries. I'll look deeper into it and might make a github repo in case things go well.
