Some of Brother scanners are supported by media-gfx/sane-backends package, by selecting the "escl" backend. This open source driver is also using eSCL protocol, like "sane-airscan". Therefore it seems to show comparable limitations (e.g. maximum resolution). From code, it look as if it supports also PDF format in addition to JPEG format (both mandatory for eSCL/2.0 scanners). See sane issue discussion thread for an ongoing discussion of differences between "builtin escl" and "sane-airscan": https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/-/issues/202
