Curious – has anyone here ever had a person/outfit sew a cuben tent fly to replace a sil one following the same shape/pattern as the sil? I'm guessing it would be quite expensive in terms of material/labor and the measurements could be slightly different because of the stretch of sil.

Zpacks.
It's worth an email, with details and expected timeline.
I say Bearpaw would do it for you.
My first thought was Bearpaw as well.
Find a tent that someone already makes that's similar to yours
Too expensive to make a new design that's slightly different
MLD makes a bunch of Cuben mids that people seem to like, for example
someone posted a diy article here about one they made a couple years ago. It looked great.
I wouldnt trust it to just anyone. Since it doenst stretch, if not meticulously made, it could be dissapointing. The time it might take to get a one-off right would seem to make it prohibitively expensive unless diy. Once someone has patterns though for a certain tent, they could crank them easier.
What tent are you looking to have a cuben fly made for?
Dan Durston made a cuben tent fly some years ago. Maybe you could make your own:
I think the price to have one made would be so prohibitively high (plus the risk that it might not turn out well), that it would be better to just buy a new cuben tent.
