How to acquire private .key for PEM certificate?
Neon.tech made a .pem certificate available through its documentation. I’m in need of a .p12/.pfx PKCS12 file for the platform I’m trying to integrate neon.tech with. How can I acquire a private key for this public key?

You cannot get a copy of our private keys. They are private after all (and not in our control for that root certificate, they're owned by let's encrypt). What are you trying to accomplish?

Basically I’m trying to establish mTLS between the Mendix low code platform and neon.tech as it would open up a world of scaling possibilities that are normally not possible with Mendix alone. https://docs.mendix.com/howto/integration/use-a-client-certificate/ gives their description on how the platform supports this, however it has the requirements of a .pfx /.p12 file which I don’t really understand why, because if Mendix is the client I don’t know why it would require the full bundle of the private and public certificates.
Mendix Documentation
Use a Client Certificate
Describes how to configure your app to authenticate using a client certificate.

But I guess the difference is that Mendix expects mutual TLS whereas neon only does server authentication with the .pem

Correct. Neon does not support mTLS as of today
