ACES (AP0) is an archive format for when you want to be absolutely sure you’re not clipping any colours. As a working space it’s terrible and AP1 should be preferred, either as ACEScg or ACEScc

AP1 is almost the same as rec.2020? I'm not sure what you mean by 'working space' but if preserving all colors was a primary or even secondary goal I definitely wouldn't cut myself down that far.

AP1 is essentially Rec.2020, yes.

By working space I mean a space in which a user manipulates the data in some way, e.g. image editing, grading, compositing or rendering.
