So the percentage makes it look impressive, but... you're saving no more than 5MB. Don't get me wrong, I like smaller images, but I feel like "smaller than Alpine" is getting into -funroll-loops territory of over-optimizing.

The best advantage I’ve found to the distroless static image is that it cuts down on the noise from container vulnerability scanners.
