It also means you can’t easily know the set of formats that the server could respond with, which in turns makes e.g. archival more difficult.

That entirely depends on the server. A good solution would be to include Link headers in all responses:

  Link: /some-page      rel="canonical"
  Link: /some-page.json rel="alternate" type="application/json"
  Link: /some-page.html rel="alternate" type="text/html"
  Link: /some-page.md   rel="alternate" type="text/markdown"
