While not exactly the same, the measured increase in size
by the Arch community for their packaging by moving from
xz to zstd was ~0.8% (and gaining a huge reduction in CPU
utilization at the decompress end).

If those (approximate) numbers hold for this use case
(someone would clearly have to test to confirm or
refute those numbers) I would have to suggest that is
likely a good tradeoff that is worth further consideration.
