Using Leaflet to consume google tiles without labels

Question

Using Leaflet, it is possible to consume google maps tiles with the code below:

    var googleStreets = L.tileLayer('http://{s}.google.com/vt/lyrs=m&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}&',{
        maxZoom: 20,
        subdomains:['mt0','mt1','mt2','mt3']
    });

Is it possible to consume the same service but without labels? Does google provide a tiling service for this purpose?

I can easily do that with cartodb basemaps because they provide different services for this reason:

    var basemapCartoNoLabels = L.tileLayer('http://{s}.basemaps.cartocdn.com/light_nolabels/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', {
        attribution: '©OpenStreetMap, ©CartoDB'
    }).addTo(map);

    var basemapCartoOnlyLabels = L.tileLayer('http://{s}.basemaps.cartocdn.com/light_only_labels/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', {
        attribution: '©OpenStreetMap, ©CartoDB',
        pane: 'labels'
    }).addTo(map);

My goal is to show the following layers: - google streets - my geometry json layer - labels on top of everything

Due to google's terms&conditions, it's not possible to access the tiles without using their API. For this reason, things like https://gitlab.com/IvanSanchez/Leaflet.GridLayer.GoogleMutant exist.

It should be possible to request tiles without labels by using the "custom styling" functionality, but I'm not sure that will allow requesting labels-only tiles.
