# gdalinfo --version
GDAL 3.10.2, released 2025/02/11
# gdalinfo --formats | egrep -i "avif|support"
Supported Formats: (ro:read-only, rw:read-write, +:update, v:virtual-I/O 
s:subdatasets)
   AVIF -raster- (rwvs): AV1 Image File Format (*.avif)

which suggests to me that GDAL *does* support writing AVIF files.
