Looking a bit further, especially towards Exiv2, it looks as if Avif support there is on hold until they sort out some patent-related issues (due to the similarities between HEIF and Avif). So the problems you are seeing might just be due to Exiv2 not reading/writing the format, so not really a darktable issue. As Exiv2 is used to add the metadata to the converted file, *in principle* dt should be able to write an AVIF file as long as no metadata have to be added.
