I feel pretty safe in trusting it. I just like to be careful with a mental "new tech" budget for a project/platform. The more new tech is involved, the more risk there is. The balancing point there being the value the new tech brings. With the platform I'm working on at the moment, the gains are relatively minor: shaving a few seconds off here and there, when things are in the scale of minutes; and saving 20-30MB when things are in the scale of gigabytes, but also not lots of them. As the project grows, and as the new tech we've introduced proves itself, there's always scope to introduce other new tech like Zstandard and start gaining in the storage savings.
