Yeah, I know that lossless is huge, but was curious if there were any
options since it will be a question that gets asked, and therefore I want
to be prepared. My experiements suggest that even where there are codecs
that have a lossless or near-lossless feature in the spec, they tend not to
be implemented, especially in browsers. So I guess that’ll be a big “nope”
for now… unless someone has further guidance.

Lossless video coding isn't really a thing on the internet.  There are
lossless modes in some encoders (x264 has one that I'm aware of), but they
tend to inflate inputs rather than compress them.  There are systems used
in video production that maintain all the source bits, but they use insane
amounts of bandwidth.
