Not really. The 90th percentile of desktop web pages load less than half that much image data across all images on the page:

A 10MB limit per image seems like it will cover everything but outliers.

Yeah but that's the limit for the source image, which would you would want to be the best resolution you might ever want to display.
To second that, if your image is over 1MB in 2021, you are probably doing it wrong (unless selling high resolution images).
