But I often wonder if users of the lens find optical pros/cons that are not reflected in the raw numbers.

Well, one could state that the ZF (or in fact almost any ZF) has quite strong contrast and as such the perceived sharpness is maybe higher than with other lenses. But then, almost any current macro lens performs on a very high level, so there are hardly any substantial differences.
Most of all, working with ZF lenses is great fun if you don't mind manual focus (or even enjoy it).
