Some tips in general for custom vector tiles that have worked for me:
- take a look at everything at openmaptiles.org
- to have your Qt mapbox-gl plugin to load data from your own tile server,
use the "mapboxgl.mapping.additional_style_urls" plugin parameter
- your own map style needs to point to your own tile server for the source
data

There are several open source mbtiles servers out there, or you can write
your own and even run it as a part of your main application.

Maybe this here is relevant,
https://openmaptiles.org/docs/generate/custom-vector-from-shapefile-geojson/
