Hard to say, but possibly less since it's a still image, not a video, so it inherently corresponds only to a part of AV1.

No need to worry about these risks for using it though. You can never say that no patent troll will surface tomorrow for literally anything. That's not a reason not to use things.

AVIF supports multiple frames. It's a good replacement for animated GIFs.

Well I guess you can use 20+ year old standards when they exist.
