HEIF is codec agnostic. It can use JPEG, H.264, HEVC, and it would be trivial to extend to AV1.

I don't have any specific thoughts about how HEVC and AV1 would compare technically as still image codecs.

Also, I would speculate that a lot of the HEVC IP wouldn't apply to still image encoding; so much is around interframe encoding.
