I may soon have to recommend a lossy but potentially lossless image format for 3D medical images (with 16 bits channels), would JPEG XL fit this bill?

I imagine the doctors would view these images in multitudes of ways(browsers, operating systems, image viewers) with varying level of support. So encoding in a standard that is yet to be entirely finalized and adopted is a bad move as of now.
You'd be best off with going with JPEG2000 still if that's what you prefer or DICOM.
So unless you expect library availability and/or encoder speed to hurt adoption, go for JXL.
not compressed, but handles the voxel-image space transform which is far far more important and quite complicated.
you can slap gzip on top of it and most libraries/FIJI will transparently decompress
