How about AVIF?

I have not read that many direct comparisons here.

In my experience, it's competitive on output size but not on compression speed. If you're not compressing online then that's fine, but we're running a service that resizes and recompresses on the fly. We serve JXL if the client indicates support for it, JPEG using JXL's jpegli, WebP, or PNG, depending on various factors.

Much worse at lossless at least.

  • Depends on who you listen to, or what you test it on. It goes either way, and avif is typically significantly better at small files sizes where loading speed (or saving data) is the priority.
