It’s unclear to me if you followed the step to install the native gdal libraries as described in GDAL Image Formats — GeoServer 2.27.x User Manual

if you did, what is the output of gdalinfo --version? and th eoutput of GDAL Image Formats — GeoServer 2.27.x User Manual

Have you tried using the Docker image, specifically the recent -gdal versions

If I recall correctly you need a special licence to serve ECW files on the web so it is not enabled by default.

I would stick with COG tiffs for speed

As others have said ECW is a proprietary GIS format, I agree with sticking with tiff for performance and compatabilite. There’s a bunch of optimization steps you should also consider to ensure they are fast. Geoserver can definitely perform exceptionally well to serve imagery, so if it’s not working or performing well it’s your configuration, not geoserver :wink:.
