Not necessarily. The current parser also allows balanced brackets inside
an object. Search for "balanced" in
https://orgmode.org/worg/org-syntax.html and you will see many examples.

In addition, we can allow multiple forms of tokens. For example,
@wrap{simple wrap}; @wrap{{we can have } inside}};
@wrap{outer wrap; @wrap{inner wrap}; back}.
@wrap{{outer wrap; @wrap{{inner wrap allowing } as well}}; back}}.

As you see, my solution is conceptually similar to #+begin_quote1 idea.

What about @wrap[#+attr_html: :alt "Text"]{[[/path/to/image]]}?
