Description
Heatmap layers seems to flicker/disappear at tile level granularity with certain zoom and pitch values. This can be reproduced in the latest gl-js version as well as in the examples web page `https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/example/heatmap-layer/`

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the flicker in the heatmap-layer example at different zoom and pitch values, using the linked videos as reference. Compare the behavior with the latest gl-js version; done means heatmap tiles remain visible and stable across the reproducing zoom and pitch combinations.
