I ran Bareos for a long time assuming the answer to this was 'no'.... for my LTO4 drives.

... and then found that because my hardware was transfer-limited, it made more sense to use a fast compression scheme like lz4.

I did try using gzip-fast but compress speed dropped a lot.

The good news is (I believe) that bareos+the LTO drives sort out whatever decompression is needed automatically so changing isn't a big issue. Consequently, I suggest you have a go and see what happens.

HTH,
