With JPEG XL finally being allowed into mainstream web browsers, we’ll hopefully see more native platform support and be able to slowly phase every older codec out, since JPEG XL does very well at more or less everything (except for animation, compared to video codecs).
I hope so, but I disagree with the size of the "except": JXL performs better than APNG and GIF, and still supports transparency and lossless encode. Video codecs struggle here. So even with animation it still depends!
There's also a case for AVIF in some use cases (for this image it performs poorly). But if I had to choose one, I'd choose JXL.
