How do I programmatically render a view with contextual filters in Drupal 8?
In Drupal 7, I generally use the following code.
$view = views_get_view('test_view'); //test_view is the view machine name
$view->set_display("block"); //block is the view display name
$view->set_arguments($tid); //$tid is the argument to pass
$view->pre_execute();
$view->execute();
$content = $view->render();
Is there any alternative way to achieve this in Drupal 8?
This works almost everywhere I use it:
use DrupalviewsViews; // above
$activeContestId = 100;
$view = Views::getView('mymodule_contestants');
$view->setDisplay('block_1');
// contextual relationship filter
$view->setArguments([$activeContestId]);
$view->execute();
$rendered = $view->render();
$output = Drupal::service('renderer')->render($rendered);

The easiest way to render a view in Drupal 8 is using the render element provided by core: https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/core%21modules%21views%21src%21Element%21View.php/class/View/8.9.x
$view = [
'#type' => 'view',
'#name' => 'test_view',
'#display_id' => 'block',
'#arguments' => [$tid],
'#embed' => TRUE,
],

To get the actual JSON output of the REST Export display you can do something like this:
$view = DrupalviewsViews::getView($view_id);
$render_array = $view->buildRenderable('rest_export_display_name', $args);
$rendered = Drupal::service('renderer')->renderRoot($render_array);
$json_string = $rendered->jsonSerialize();
$json_object = json_decode($rendered);

function getView($viewId, $displayId, array $arguments)
{
$result = false;
$view = Views::getView($viewId);

$view->setDisplay($displayId);
$view->setArguments($arguments);

return $view;

Basing on the code used by views_get_view_result()
, I would use the following code, as code equivalent to the one you show in the question.
$args = [$tid];
$view = Views::getView('test_view');
if (is_object($view)) {
$view->setArguments($args);
$view->setDisplay('block');
$view->preExecute();
$view->execute();
$content = $view->buildRenderable('block', $args);
}
