I added ZSTD support to OpenSSH roughly three years ago and I've been playing with it ever since. The nice part is that ZSTD achieves reasonable compression (like zlib) but consumes little CPU so it is unlikely that compression becomes the bottle neck of a transfer. The compression overhead (CPU) is negligible even when uncompressed data is tunneled over the SSH connection (SOCKS proxy, port forward). With this I can enably it by default on the client side by setting "Compression zstd" in ssh_config and it will fallback to none if compression isn't available.
