I think webm/vp9 is pretty spectacular when the compression is maxed out. Obviously, it has noticeable artifacts, but a lot of times I just need to give someone a rough video. However, webp is not anywhere near as impressive. After a few attempts, I realized the stated 25-34% improvement was massively over stated.
Short answer, no. WebP is a mixed bag. Might be better or might be worse. No compelling reason to make a switch, yet, unless faced with very specific scenarios.
Is WebP really better than JPEG?
