What's Jolla's view on how to deal with the RPM format change?

No, it is the wrong compression level and method for sources!

The source compression shall either be left as it is or be set to gzip -6 … -9 (6 is gzip’s default). For the binaries it is fine to use xz -2 … -6; for RPMs which are only installable on SailfishOS ≥ 3.2.1 one may add the option -T.

Yes, this all has been documented before in depth.
