For me, “zakat being compatible with EA” means “its possible to increase the impact of zakat and allocate it in the most cost-effective way” [ . . . .]
Indeed, effective giving being subject to donor-imposed constraints is the norm, arguably even in EA. Many donors are open only to certain cause areas, or to certain levels of risk tolerance, or to projects with decent optics, etc. Zakat compliance does not seem fundamentally different from donor-imposed constraints that we’re used to working within.
