Andrew might have some stylistic suggestions, but this looks
plausible to me.

Interesting ... on my Tahoe laptop, I see
$ tar --version
bsdtar 3.5.3 - libarchive 3.7.4 zlib/1.2.12 liblzma/5.4.3 bz2lib/1.0.8
There is nothing in "tar --help" about sparse files, but
experimentation shows that it accepts --[no-]read-sparse.
Can't easily tell if the switch actually does anything.
