    I understand WebP conversion is disabled on WP Engine (and why).

    However, can I run the conversion locally/elsewhere then rsync those generated WebP files to WP Engine and have EWWWIO still serve them?

    Does that require nginx rewrite rules on WPE or does it just work via the JS/<picture> settings?

    You can absolutely generate WebP images however you like and then use EWWW IO to deliver them. Do note, that EWWW IO will expect the WebP images to have the same filename and extension, with .webp appended.
    So image.jpg becomes image.jpg.webp. As you suspected though, you can even deliver WebP without EWWW IO, but you’ll have to ask WPE support to setup the rewrites for you. It’s been a while since I had them do that for our site, and we use our own CDN that includes WebP now, but they should still be able to set that up just fine.
