This is really cool, I love seeing folks use CSS in clever ways. :)

My one feedback would be to avoid using attr selectors on the style attribute like [style*="--lqip:"]. Browsers normally lazy compute that string version of the style attribute [1], but if you use a selector like this then on every style recalc it'll force all new inline styles (ex. element.style.foo = bar) to compute the string version.

Instead if you use a separate boolean attribute (or even faster a class) it'll avoid that perf foot gun. So write <div lqip style="--lqip: ..."> and match on that.
