You're so right (as always)...
It's documented here:

So, Ambix with a CAF container as a production format.
WavPack is still valuable (at least for my use cases).

I assumed that ALAC compression is for Apple-only devices, but it works on
other platforms as well, and a quick test shows that ALAC can be a bit more
efficient than WavPack (for file size, no idea about CPU usage).
So using the Ambix format in a CAF container with ALAC compression is a good
choice.
ALAC is limited to 8 channels, and each of the possible channel counts is
associated with a particular set of speaker channels, not with Ambinsonic
signals. It's again a delivery format and not suited to production use.
Ciao,
