Also batch setting environment variables

What is the status on this request (even if limited to using predefined render CLI options)

Unfortunately the inability to view the elixir BEAM (via observer) or to connect to an elixir process has prevented me from running my elixir apps on Render. This is a critical blocker for any elixir app that is more than a toy.

would be a command I would love to see.

For me the main selling point would be the ability to deploy individual static sites and services (as opposed to bulk with ) from the CLI.

My use case is as follow:

deploy a Vue webapp independently from the backend, which are in a monorepo, from my Gitlab CI/CD pipeline.

If possible, maybe make it open source...

What about deploying directly using Render CLI?

Heck yeah

I think this is the tooling that Render is missing. A CLI that allows deploying to Render can be used in many different workflows (CI, etc). This lack of tooling is what prevents us from fully migrating to Render from Zeit Now.
