When ES-document layers are using the .mvt scaling option, there is no small legend preview-icon next to the layer name. Instead, it defaults to the generic vector edge-point icon.
The default behavior in Maps for adjusts the legend-icon based on the geometry-type of the data. Showing a circle/icon for point-geometries, squiggly line for lines, etc...
Ability to query for geometry-type in Elasticsearch would enable this feature for vector-tiled format: elastic/elasticsearch#49569
In absence of ES-support of aggregating by geometry-type, Kibana could do a best effort (e.g. defaulting to filled-shape icon, or filled-dot icon)
