So, its not possible to turn this on with PPC at the moment without upstream kernel changes. S390x is a different story, and the zstd builds do work (at least in qemu), but when tracking back the commit which enables it there was a comment that they are slower on real HW (z15+) because its providing a hardware zlib decompressor. So, it is a case of slower decompression to save a few percent disk space, which I guess probably isn't a good tradeoff on that platform.
