"GNU tar has a --concatenate mode for producing combined archives. That has the same limitations as above — you must use --ignore-zeros to extract" - Actually: as of GNU tar --version 1.30 (2017?), info tar very clearly states that --concatenate specifically solves that very problem for us and removes the need to (forget to...) use --ignore-zeros.

Sorry, only just been able to test this. Your second method gives me this error: tar: Cannot update compressed archives
