Not at this time.

For the BLOB datatype, I don't know what are the limitations for a
Galera cluster, we need to be able to store Filename and Path (mainly)
that are coming from the Client with a non UTF8 encoding. At the time,
it was the only way, it might have changed since, and I would be happy
to know if you have a better solution, and if we can convert easily from
one format to an other.

For the single transaction, what you describe this is not what the 11.0
code is doing (and I believe not what was doing 9.6 either). We group in
a single INSERT something like 32 values, and the MySQL code doesn't use
transactions in this process.

Best Regards,
Eric
