Why not just reusing the Custom Emoji NIP for this? I don't see an issue and we already have clients that implement both sides of it.

I don't want gif packs showing up in my reaction emoji picker. gifs are generally bigger images with text or memes. and custom reactions are smaller images for "liking" a note

Also NIP-30 does not have support for thumbnails which is going to be very important for larger gifs. IMO a new kind with "imeta" tags is going to be much easier to work with

there's lots of gif reacts too, but they display too small to even be recognisable, there really is a lot of reason to not mix them up

100%, using emoji kinds for generic GIFs is a bad idea.
