Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 I tried excluding only the specific image types we know the server might
 not support when that is the case in https://github.com/WordPress
 /wordpress-
 develop/pull/7629/commits/18f99116a95ae400ad7f04a7974355513da63c93.

 Testing this in the editor however reveals it is a pretty poor experience.

 First, the upload fails with a cryptic message that is misleading: "Sorry,
 you are not allowed to upload this file type". In the media library we
 instead say "The web server cannot generate responsive image sizes for
 this image. Convert it to JPEG or PNG before uploading.".

 Next we are left with a broken state in the editor with the image half
 uploaded.

 To fix this, we can add the data to the settings object about server
 support for each image type in core, but handle the actual upload
 experience and rejection of non-supported types in Gutenberg.
