At zoom level 10, the globe-projected Mercator tiles are displayed with an up to 0.6% top/bottom tile edge length difference, which scales linearly. This prevents real 1-to-1 rendering even at zoom level 19, although you can get close enough with nearest neighbor resampling, where the few pixel differences can be quite hidden.

I think Mapbox solves this very elegantly by transitioning to full Mercator between (vector) zoom levels 5 and 6 by default, but that has a very obvious transition. This transition can be minimised by having it occur only on higher zooms, but that means more resampled zoom levels.
