That is very nice. Although backless waistcoats are fine, I personally dont like them and think the minor heat you might internalize is offset by the smoothness of the bemberg back.

I have a purple label backless waistcoat that even still comes in sizes such as 38, 40, etc. I don't think they would cut corners, even if some do. So surely there must be something to it other than cost-cutting.

SR makes bespoke backless vests, so I don't think backless inherently means "sizeless".
