While WebP lossy still has image quality issues it has improved a lot over the years. One should not consider a comparison done with 2010-2015 implementations indicative of quality performance today.

I'm sure it's better now than 13 years ago, but the conclusion I got from looking at very recent published benchmark results is that lossy webp is still only slightly better than mozjpeg at low bitrates and still has worse max. PQ ceiling compared to JPEG, which in my opinion makes it not worth using over plain old JPEG even in web settings.
That matches my observations. I believe that WebP lossy does not add value when Jpegli is an option and is having hard time to compete even with MozJPEG.
