The author @StarkShang said in a recent issue comment that he is no longer actively maintaining this repo.

In addition, the repo that this was forked from @extend-chrome/rollup-plugin-chrome-extension now has Vite support in beta and also supports MV3 and is actively being maintained.

rollup-plugin-chrome-extension also has support for --watch mode, in case you are still waiting for #6 to be fixed.

Hope this helps anyone else landing here going forward, or any other stuck waiting for issues to be addressed in this repo.

Many thanks @StarkShang for your work here!

Sadly, the linked RPCE is a much more fully-featured setup (not necessarily what I want), and it's vite support is currently quite alpha / not production ready.

Thanks, @evanb2, for pointing this out. I had not found the repro this was forked from; not sure why, but many thanks.

@evanb2 , @crxjs/vite-plugin, which seems to be the vite version you are referring to, doesn't support vite3. There appears to be progress on the PR to implement support, but it has been active since June, and isn't finished yet.
