The major difference is that image/webp and video/webm are 
supported by browsers[1][2] and used in the wild, while image/avif 
and image/avif-sequence are not.

As previously suggested, if you want to use these types in your 
configuration, consider modifying mime.types locally or extending 
the existing MIME types list using the "types" directive 
(http://nginx.org/r/types).
