TIFF should also be safe, but many of my TIFFs have been using unsupported, older color sync profiles and need converting. I did the same with any image file, that has not been HEIC, JPEG, or RAW. I removed and converted any file, that I could not import into a new library. In my library I tested for such legacy items by exporting all videos, that are not encoded HEVC or H.264 and importing them in small groups into another test library. Photos may get stuck by trying over and over again to handle these files and fail, and the other items will never get analysed. If the background processes for the duplicate detection or the scanning for faces or objects get stuck, you may have items in your Photos Library, that have been imported a long time ago,and are in a legacy format, that can no longer be processed by Photos. But what a repair cannot do, is fix damaged or missing media files. It can collect orphaned files, and it can fix damaged internal database files. The Repair tool can fix the file ownership and permissions. There may be problems in your Photos Library, that a library repair cannot fix.
