Stroke taper not showing up in Lottie File render

I have a looping trim path with a tapered stroke on both ends. Upon rendering the tapering does not show up in the Lottie File. The Lottie supported Feature page doesn't talk about tapering. Either I'm doing something wrong, or Lottie does not support tapering.

Tapering is not a native property of SVG or HTML canvas, so inevitably Lottie cannot support it natively. You have to render the stuff to an inmage sequence if it's really that important to retain the taper.

It's a good solution - https://www.schoolofmotion.com/blog/free-tapered-stroke-after-effects

Actually a bad solution, because the file size increases significantly, in the end we just abandoned the sharp lines
