They certainly don't decrease.

> Do we need different filters for different layers?

I don't think filters are a good idea, we just need one good dark style. Styles have unique and carefully chosen color palettes, and you can't just apply a filter to make them dark mode. There will always be edge cases where it looks bad, as well as performance issues.

> Couldn't the dark mode have waited for the release of the vector.osm.org tiles?

I think we would still be waiting for dark mode in 2030 if we waited for everything to be perfect. This will at least accelerate development. If a beta dark mode had been released in 2020, we would have a perfect one by now.
