I really curious about what the world of archival formats is like - is there consensus? are the most-used formats actually any good and well-supported,and self documenting?

Library of Congress has some well considered recommendations for archival. https://www.loc.gov/preservation/resources/rfs/TOC.html

For web content they recommend gzipped WARC. This is great for retaining the content, but isn’t easy to search or render.

I do WARC dumps then convert those to ZIM for easier access.
