Description
Apparently it's possible to have canvas renderers inside a web worker thread, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1864756/web-workers-and-canvas
It would be nice to see if this could be applied to Leaflet's canvas renderers, as it would increase rendering speed of complex vector tiles here.

Research direction
Start by reviewing Leaflet's canvas renderers and the Web Workers and Canvas reference linked in the issue. Determine whether the vector-tile rendering path can run in a worker and define how rendering speed would be measured for complex vector tiles; done requires an agreed implementation scope and performance evidence.
