Do you know if it or some other lossy compressed format is better and more used, and should be supported too?
I see TIFF actually has JPEG support already as an extension though only rarely implemented (same for JPEG XL extension). Despite seeing here I don’t think that package (thus not yet yours) supports JPEG:
