Kraken+mermaid+zlib on *.ucas and *.utoc file is of no use (the ratio remains almost same for them even if you use srep+lzma2), as the file is locked for compression. Use it just for your *.pak file to significantly increase your decompression time.
There is even no use of applying lolz as well, as the compression time increases with very negligible less compression ratio.

What are you talking about? This is simply not true!

Compare results from Danziel123 and this here

We both are using different files for Data-01. I only have *.ucas and *.utoc
Whereas, Danziel123 have *.ucas, *.utoc and *.pak

Danziel123 got 38GB, I was able to manage it in ~40GB.
Data-01 > *.ucas + *.utoc + everything else > ~28GB
Data-02 > *.pak > 7.7GB (using kraken+mermaid) / 8GB (using zstd+srep+lzma2)
Data-03 > *.bk2 > 4.95GB

Normally, I wouldn't waste my time again getting that low compression ratio on *.ucas with kraken+mermaid. Logs for my Data-01:
