BREACH would be the relevant attack for content-encoding compression, it's only good for guessing the content of the response that can't actually be read otherwise, i.e. stealing a csrf token in cross-site requests, requires that the server echo back a chosen plaintext in the response (e.g. a provided query string), and takes thousands of requests to pull it off.

It's a vanishingly small number of things that are actually vulnerable to this attack, and I've never even heard of a successful real-world exploit (tho it's not like the attackers that might use this go and tell everyone).
