Should each style change be a separate render pass?

[rokit]

For example, buffer.set_text with Style::Italic, then buffer.set_text with Style::Normal would be two render passes?

One render pass that renders multiple buffers is ok, and one buffer can have multiple styles. You can check the cosmic-text examples to see how to apply styles to specific spans within a buffer. Let me know if you have any trouble applying it like this.

In general you should try to share a single render pass as much as possible.

I checked Cosmic Text for multiple spans, but it uses set_rich_text, which I don't see in this library. Could you add an example for that case?
