If possible, I’d much prefer having a single format that is widely supported, hardware accelerated, and with a state-of-the-art codec. Making content authors create multiple different files in different formats—some with deficient feature support—sounds like a pain in the butt for everyone.
If we can get everyone to agree on a format that handles layers, exposure bracketing, transparency, animation, high bit depth, different color models, both lossy and lossless compression, every common type of metadata, etc., that would be great.
