Pure zstd (or .tar.zstd) vs pack vs patched 7z+zstd would be more interesting, how much overhead introduced by pack format itself - in size and speed

tar.zst vs pack is looking great, thanks! Also there is https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd

.pack vs zst-7z with the same compression settings would b interesting. That will be pure container overhead
