That attack article puts forward a dubious scenario where parts of multiple copies of a file become corrupted in different locations and you need to recover the original using both of the damaged copies. If you find that sort of thing happening to you a lot, then lzip might be the format for you. But I can’t say I’ve ever heard of that being a real recovery scenario. A much saner approach to enabling recovery from corruption would be to keep external checksums and parity files.
