How do you trigger the conversion though
For SVG in standard rST files the conversion is just triggered by adding the extension to conf.py (sphinx.ext.imgconverter or sphinxcontrib-svg2pdfconverter).
Obviously without either of these extensions loaded, having only SVG will definitely fail at present.
The two sphinx extensions I mentioned do it on the sphinx end (prior to writing latex): this could be an issue, given that we inject the image into the doctree at quite a late stage (hence why I am not certain of compatibility). In the last few years there is now also a latex package which does similar on the latex end: https://ctan.org/pkg/svg?lang=en, which may be another option.
This should be raised as an issue to look into as a long-term goal
