The code quality of some of the cloudflare changes is questionable. Optimizations aren't cleanly separated by commits, some of the licensing is dicey, etc.

zlib-ng tried to merge as much as they could from the cloudflare fork without getting into licensing issues.

Oh, sure, it's all exciting in that respect from some of those, but I was more pointing to the collection of forks as a whole as a thing to evaluate if you have to look at zlib.

I would just go for lz4 and zstd, really, at this point, but if for some reason gzip is necessary or fits your use case better, ...

(Though I'd really like to hear what that is.)
