Have you considered supporting .woz files?

For .wiz, .dsk, .do, conversion on-the-fly before sending to FPGA is the way to go. That means doing the conversion in neoapple2ui.

I was thinking more as a replacement for .nib files, which have been superseded by .woz files.

I see. I took a look and some changes on the FPGA side are needed for the copy-protection schemes (cross track synchronization and the "random nibbles").

It seems MiSTer does not have .woz support either. Do you have names for any app/game that can only be emulated with .woz images?

I would contact the Applesauce people. I think woz version 1 matched nib, but the changes made since then almost certainly aren't handled by nib. They have reference images available for testing with.
