The fact that AV1 does well when compared to x265 with a five year head start is neat, but I won't deny the fact that this was a somewhat rushed development.
My guess is most desirable features and improvements will only come with AV2, when the Alliance have most of the development kinks worked out.

I am hoping for the best on AV2. But given how they have communicate, and expecting to have AV2 and AV3 done in next 5 years just shows they have absolutely no idea how real world progress and works.
Then there is the law of diminishing return, a lot of the improvement and progress made in x264 and x265 took years to fine tune. It wasn't long ago x264 was still beating x265 at high bitrate encoding.
