FLIF got integrated in to JPEG-XL as the modular mode.

If I recall correctly, that's FUIF, originally created by the same author as FLIF's successor of sorts.
Not really. FLIF is too slow to decode, about 20x slower than WebP lossless. JPEG XL modular mode uses a similar static context modeling with WebP lossless and Brotli and likely LZHAM where all the entropy codes are generated at decoding time. Also JPEG XL forces tiled coding, making multi-threaded decoding a possibility.
