I wonder how common  octet-stream is with legitimate  .tgz
files

sadly you need to expect "application/octet-stream" for nearly any filetype, learned the hard way by doing mime-checks on webservers

+1 for this, similar experience here.

I've seen "application/octet-stream" typing on ".htm" components of mail
messages created by major brand e-mail clients. The lazy authors assume
that the correct file extension is all that is needed.
