Comment (by spacedmonkey):

 In my testing, the Github didn't work. The image size could not generated.
 I believe it because of this line https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/pull/1024/files#r596403477

 I am also not sure, about using generating different image sizes using
 webp. This is not the behavior of other file types, so jpg are not convert
 to png for example. I also think that forcing users to use webp is not the
 best idea.

 I still think that numbers are not high enough to force it's use.

 Safari 13, Edge 12-17 jump out as a lack of support.

 I think it is a bit different if a user uploads a webp, they have opted
 in. Maybe we could add an option to opt out.

 Outside the existing PR is looking good and almost code ready IMO.
