I was coincidentally discussing this with Joeri yesterday.
Perhaps the parquet or feather file format could be used as a more efficient way to store ipf data? Both are column-based formats, as opposed to csv, which is row-based. I don't know how practical it is to use these formats over traditional ipf's or csv's to store, read and write borehole/well/cpt data, but there are some potential benefits:
I can imagine there are some drawbacks when trying to use these formats, some of which I'm probably not aware of.

iMOD 5 supports also ipf files with al header information in one row, like normal csv files. The support of this ipf/csv files for point information can make the use of the tool much easier.
