Currently only IE browser is not supporting webp images. IE browser will reach eol on June 15, 2022.
webp image should be loaded as fallback image
I completely agree.
However, you can already have a webp fallback image by configuring the fallback image to use an image style that has Drupal Core's "Convert" image style filter (set to convert to webp, of course).
There's no need to unconditionally convert jpegs, etc to webp as this patch does.
