i dont think its viable in scale. maybe for specific needs its an optimal choice. you still need biopsies to get cells from animals, so i would say its more vegetarian than vegan (so its still exploitative to animals). in general people can already have a vegan diet today. theres no need to invent anything.
What if we use a stock culture?
if there was a way to totally not have animals in the process, then yes it would be technically vegan. maybe it will be super viable. but again, i think on a mass scale it is more efficient to just produce crops. communal agriculture is dead simple. while lab-cultivation requires lab equipment, which needs a whole new production process. you need to think about accessibility also, and its hard to beat accessibility of seeds and ground.
