About zlib-ng, it was also considered. However, 6 months ago it didn't look production ready (I'm not convinced yet, check out this issue: https://github.com/Dead2/zlib-ng/issues/90). There are reported bugs which caused application crash which are still open. This branch contains massive modifications to the main zlib branch and, at that time, we couldn't find anyone using it in production. It would be basically a gamble. Intel and Cloudflare branches have their own issues, but they have been reported to be stable.
In case someone desperately needs to deploy to an old processor, you can still use x86 binary which doesn't require AVX at all.
We are still investigating this issue, so we should have more information soon.
Cheers
