Why is that? And do you happen to know if XDA profile caps would be silenced on the downstroke?

Part of the Zealencio's function rely on the keycaps to have a cross support for the keycap stem. Cherry profile (and apparently SP's G20) have the proper "height" crosses that touch the Zealencio clips before the stem on the inside bottoms out. OEM is hit and miss, due to the height of the caps and various manufacturers. XDA appears to look just like DSA without any internal hatch/support, so the bottom of the keycap wouldn't touch the Zealencio clip during bottom out.
As for the upstroke, the rubber area around the clip touches the stem just ever so slightly before it "tops out" fully. This is why it silences the up stroke so well.

What's the compatibility of Zealencios and costar stabs?

Requires trimming of an edge from the clip to provide clearance for the costar wire. Does not affect the integrity or the silencing though.

Any plans for future revisions to the Zealencios so they'll work unmodded?

Currently no plans, sorry. Costar stabilizers have too many variants with no standardization. Certain boards also don't rotate the switch for vertically stabilized keys / iso enter, which would mean the bar would end up where the retention clips are.
