I can vouch for this exact approach. Here’s a sample from last weekend, exported via AME using the Vimeo 1080p 29.97 preset.

You're asking for output directly from After Effects, but my answer is to use the Vimeo encoding presets in Adobe Media Encoder.

 

Just render and export a losslessly encoded master from After Effects into a watch folder that AME is monitoring, and let AME create the Vimeo file.

What is a better alternative than .MOV H.264 for optimal qualityute for upload to Vimeo?

 

Requirements: 24 fps, 1080p, 44kHz Stereo, size < 200 Mb per 60 sec of video, direct render from AE output.
