And the conversion can be extended to import more file formats such as torch, darknet, etc. One example is that OpenCV uses this method.

Option 2 would be ideal, as it does not introduce any dependency for
using the native backend.
Yet I'm not sure  how complex implementing the tf model reader can be,
If I remember correctly the student said it was not trivial at the
time.

Is the tf model file stable? if not it will be a maintenance burden to
keep it working whenever tf releases a new version. This point makes
me think having control over our file format is good.
