Other than RAR I do not know of a format 7Z doesn't write and frankly making
RAR,
Arj, Lzh, whatever files is not a real concern for me in this day& age.

Well 7z& Zip have supplanted Rar as defacto standards for downloaded
content with Zip as usual the most common.
If it does Rar, Zip, adds better compressing 7z format, and
incorporates all the positives / none of the negatives you mention
then one would have to question "why use use WinRAR at all?"
I can think of nothing I had to compromise switching from WinRar to 7Z.
7z doesn't support jar files from the specs. I've had to use it for that
a few times recently, but it isn't heavy use for me, I could keep winzip
around for that.
A lot of the formats for 7z that winrar supports read and write are only
read on 7z. (According to the spec page I read on it).
I have not yet tried it though.
