I just wanted to mention XL is currently not optimised for low bitrate. So there are lots of potential to improve.

And I do think taking median Image size and bitrate on Internet was the wrong point of optimisation. Lots of image on the internet just aren't properly optimised.

I think and I may be wrong, the format is now finalised. ( The original schedule was last July... so it was delayed abit ) People who are interested could start testing it.

JPEG XL's great properties extend to about 3-5x lower bitrates than what are used in the Internet and to about 10x lower bitrates than what are used in cameras. Also some improvement is happening in that area.
