Niall, thanks for your input.
I was just researching about it just after I have sent my previous email.

Yes, this can be a reasonable solution. And supported too!
I just can't figure out why compression is just an ACFS option. Why not
also a Disk Group attribute?

In the case of ASM you could always provision an ACFS filesystem which
also supports compression since 12.2,:). I'd be wary of using a feature
that's been around since 10 and never made it to documented status when
there are supported alternative options.

I'm aware of on-the-fly compression filesystems since old Windows Stacker.
This is not an option for Oracle DBs in ASM.
But thanks anyway!

Ah that!
That too is supported:

You can have a compressed file system and put your archive logs there.
NTFS too has such capability. There is no reason for Oracle to do
compression of the archive logs. I prefer rman to maintain cleanliness of
my LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1. And cleanliness is next to godliness.
