>simply using tar instead

Be aware that tar doesn't preserve creation/birth times and keeping that original metadata is important to some people if the target file system can record it. Robocopy preserves/transfers creation times by default and recent rsync versions (3.2.3 2020-08-06) can do it with the extra option --crtimes.
