You're correct that EDGTVEXT replaces ARCTVEXT and that is the way forward for the target DFSMSrmm environment.
To maintain DFSMShsm consistency when running DFSMSrmm and Zara in parallel you will need to call the respective exits in turn. Therefore as Zara is in control, this ARCTVEXT exit will need to run as per normal to maintain DFSMShsm and Zara consistency, but a straightforward "stub/link" will be required to then call the EDGTVEXT exit to pass the same parameters to DFSMSrmm, maintaining DFSMShsm and DFSMSrmm consistency. BTW, this has worked for me on previous DFSMSrmm migrations, as most Tape Management Subsystems have their own iterations of ARCTVEXT to maintain DFSMShsm consistency. Regards, MWM.
