Funny that the article only obliquely references the compression issues. The OCI users that I have seen are using gzip due to inertia, while zstd layers have been supported for a while and are radically faster.

I looked into switching to zstd recently however at least crane the utility that rules_oci uses to upload containers does not yet support uploading zstd layers.
