For the first iteration of bytes.format(), I think we should just support the exact types of int, float, and bytes. It will call the type's_format (with the object as "self") and encode the result to_ ASCII. For the stated use case of 2.x compatibility, I suspect this will cover > 90% of the uses in real code. If we find there are cases where real code needs additional types supported, we can consider adding formatascii (or whatever name we cook up).
