I use a lot of svg vector graphics. The latest ESPHome does not install svg by default. Use pip to install cairosvg.
pip install esphome cairosvg

This is a really great little screen. I have a basic config and also a full featured one. guition-esp32-s3-4848s040-display_modular.yaml has a boot screen, a system for dimming the backligh at night and some basic buttons for controlling local and Home Assistant devices.
