Have you considered a high frame rate morph effect between images? That would increase the effective frame rate and probably would look pretty cool.

That’s the technique I used on a piece that does inpainting across an image at a rate of about 1 image every 8 seconds - I ‘melt’ the results in for the duration until the next patch is ready: https://hardwork.party/aws-epoch-optimizer/
I actually think the high frame rate will look worse unless the styling changes less in between frames. Otherwise, it's going to look erratic and there will be a ton of "popping" if each frame changes as much as the frames in the current video. Or maybe op wants it to be a chaotic feeling.
Many years ago I did a couple of hundred variations on the mona lisa in photoshop, and stacked them as a gif. As the eyes remained unchanged in each frame, they gave a fixed point you could focus on while the rest of the face strobed chaotically. It was a nice effect.
Even a simple crossfade.
