Glad to hear JPEG-XL is still making its way. It deserves to become the most widespread image format.

Regarding web usage after the Google situation:

I do disagree about AV1. Its AVIF image format spinoff is very good. Often better quality or smaller file size than webp, and has browser support as good as webp nowadays. And of course,

I work on a lot of web projects, and I used to serve webp and AVIF for a while (based on the browser’s HTTP Accept header). Recently, I decommissioned all webp handling and serving code.

See https://caniuse.com/?search=image+format. You can serve an AVIF for every requested JPEG or PNG file.
