Do you think advanced users should consider AVIF/AVIF2 along JPEGXL for long term pictures archival ?

Which kind of encode settings do you suggest for conversion from high resolution RAWs or JPEGs ?

Depends on if you want lossy or lossless.

For long term archival, JXL is better, the only issue with it is browser and device support

I have been using JXL for all my personal photos. My photo server Immich will just transcode a JPEG to display on devices which don't natively support JXL.

Long term archival is often also about long term support and there just going with the most popular/supported ones might be a safer bet, eg in the extreme case if I wanted to save some digital photos in a time capsule I would likely choose PNG and JPEG
