Hey Nio, you can use ext4 partition and grub2 for a BIOS boot. (This might allow you to zsync, for testing..)
Another option might be to create a first "boot" partition with GPT+FAT32, but set up GRUB2 to load images in a second ext4 partition, (where the ISO files will be stored). I know this should work, but I had no time to test it out yet...
