We'd need Chrome in CI, which appears possible, and then we'd have a pretty consistent story: to work with bitmaps you need Chrome. Absurdly heavy but ... also fairly simple for user.

For producing the bitmap table from a COLRv1 font in maximum_color script (https://github.com/googlefonts/nanoemoji/pull/400), I can see how using Chrome (or even something like the skia_colr executable that we used to use in our diff tests before switching to full Chrome) could be beneficial in that it'd allow to support rasterizing stuff that can't travel through SVG format like the sweep gradients (as used in underware's Plakato) or fancier use of PaintComposite..
