yes, we should make sure that youtube-dl allow to embed only for subtitles supported by ffmpeg and the container and maybe add fixup by embeding in mkv or convert the subtitle before embeding.

I prefer just an error message instead of converting subtitles automatically. Maybe some people want to embed srt while others vtt.

By the way, can TTML subtitles be merged into mkv?

Is there any way to request a different format of subtitle that FFMPEG can work with?
