Not a common need but I appreciated the larger supported size (over the 65K limit of jpeg). Once I hit the limit with jpg I switched to png, since JPEGXL is not yet ready, and had to resort to png optimizer to get the size to something close to jpg. So I was looking forward to JPEGXL.

Since that it seems that you're okay with lossy images, have you've tried RDOPNG (https://github.com/richgel999/rdopng)? It won't be as great as JPEG or JXL but it should eke out better-compressed images.

I use tiled TIFF with jpeg compression for things like this. You get good compression, support for huge sizes, and wide compatibility. TIFF supports image pyramids too, so you can even get good interactive performance.
No direct web browser support is the only big downside :(
