Additional context
It's been in ffmpeg for a year or so but apparently went under the release note radar (couldn't find it).
The initial commit was in late April 2022
And i can guarantee that it is most certainly in ffmpeg:

Decoder libjxl [libjxl JPEG XL]:
General capabilities: dr1 threads
Threading capabilities: other
And the "official documentation":
https://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-codecs.html#libjxl
Not much info but some which means it's there.
It apparently uses libjxl which has BSD 3-Clause license thus should be good to be enabled.
You can have animated jpegxl of which samples can be found here. Based on that it should probably be enabled in the video package Though don't use chrome to look at them as chrome decided in their "wishdom" to nuke this next-gen image format in favor of the AV1 (AVIF) image format. Depending on your browser, you can look at those images. Consult https://caniuse.com/jpegxl to see which one to use.
