A new pixel format should present a clear improvement, a use-case you
couldn't do before, or could only do with a performance penalty or
whatever.
If everything that you can do with NV61 you could also do with NV16, a
format we already have, which value does adding it add to the project?

Completionism should not be a goal. There are hundreds of obscure
pixel formats that we have no business all adding.
