vite-plugin-pug
A plugin that makes Vite parse <pug src="example.pug"></pug> in your index.html. The rendered template replaces this tag with the compiled markup.

Contribution
After Rollup I started to use Vite recently but this is not a reason to leave my beloved template format behind. Its lack of active Pug plugins made me make one quickly. It does the job to me, I will extend it when I need it. 
If it doesn't match with your setup please start a new discussion about it, I'm interested to see other workflows. If something is simply not working, please raise an issue. PRs certainly welcome! (.❛ ᴗ ❛.)
