I wonder whether this system works for zip-compressed files, such as large .docx, .npz, etc. These are common large files, but it seems that rsync cannot handle compressed files.

Would Jamsync solve this problem?

Compression formats can be made to handle rsync, even if it isn't a thing out of the box - in my ignorance gzip is the only example I'm aware of.

Not currently, but it would definitely be interesting to have an unzip done automatically based on the file type. Then you would be able to track the contents efficiently, rather than having large binary blobs with large diffs. I haven't heard of other version control systems out there doing this.
