I am strictly against something like this.

We have a lot of packages with *confirmed* *serious* problems. Zoom is
not special to warrant a special treatment in any way.

More important: Until today, not one single vulnerability discussed in
public recently got confirmed for the Linux version.

Sure, that could have banal reasons like "No one audited the Linux
version yet". But in security you don't issue warnings if you aren't
sure. Because if you make false statements people will no longer trust
you. But trust is everything.
