The ID token is always a JWT when doing OIDC, and it makes sense in this situation.

Because the ID token is not a set of credentials, but signed information you’d use to create/update a user’s profile.

You can technically use JWTs as access tokens, as the spec doesn’t specify a format for access tokens, but in my experience they’re normally opaque bearer tokens.
