I applaud your scope but that list seems so broad that it's hard to think any but a few artists would ever need more than 30%... Maybe some sort of plug-n-play modules could eventually be developed? This looks like it could be useful as a broad academic project even...
The 3D list: Most of it appears more geared towards science than art, but even so it's far more useful to apply a standard (like OBJ or nothing) than allow for max flexibility. The annotations aspect is available on a number of Autodesk platforms, which might give you a few ideas if that section gets developed.
Conversions of any 3D format is hit or miss at best, and IMO the "web-optimized glTF format" has one benefit only: backwards compatibility. That ends up being the lowest common denominator unfortunately. We're due for some new updates on web 3D for sure...
Note to readers: Doug is a domain expert on this topic.
Need? All this is utterly disconnected from need. Unless your need is to maximize awesomeness.
You're correct of course, and the 3D formats are pretty slippery. But in my opinion everyone should have a virtual 3D gallery because we may all be living in gamespace one day.

I do! Let me know if you have questions.
