I'm a bit lazy these days and do a lot of short cuts but I love to see the more elaborate ones.
Have you checked out the Maplewood Bakery Yellow Rose Vegan Bakery and Cafe? Not sure if it checks all of your criteria.
from the heading, I thought the thread was asking for a recipe, and was going to post a coeliac-friendly vegan lasagna very similar to this one.
It’s also worth finding the vegan versions of the Greek pasticcio, very yummy.
I would just like to say that calling this "lasagna" is an affront. How about casserole?

I grew up helping make the lasagna. My Sicilian Grandpa used to take me to non Italian neighbors to show them the basics.
It became easy to make it vegetarian by eliminating the meat or replacing it with plant-based meats. The new Vegan cheese products are getting better and as everything can get tweaked with an awesome sauce, it can work. With your passion for cooking, I'm willing to bet you could come up with something worthy of the "lasagna" title. I'll bet a splash of red wine in the sauce and some roasted garlic could go a long way.
I actually grew up with meatless lasagna and I don't care for the meat version.
It's just that this dish bears zero resemblance to lasagna.
It's cultural appropriation I tells ya!
