If you need or want to use tar and compression, you can consider pixz. It's compatible with xz, can do multithreaded compression and decompression, and can efficiently extract a single member from a .tar.xz archive without having to decompress the entire archive. xz/pixz is much more computationally expensive than zstd or gzip but also provides better compression ratios.
