Hi maregg,
Thank you for the detailed post and the case number, and sorry to hear about the challenges here.
First, the situation is understood; reviewing the case, I can see that the changes in v12 had a negative impact on your workflow and we'll discuss how this can be handled better (perhaps allowing FLR/Application restore from tape may help as ultimately the goal is to get the EDB and/or mailboxes themselves restored from tape in a timely fashion and without needing excessive space)
Support's statements are correct; at this time, the only solutions would be to continue with the Legacy Jobs as you have settled on or consider a solution where the EDBs are backed up directly to tape from a File Level Restore (FLR) session / disk publishing session, though I'm not eager on these options as it would require scripting, though it would help meet your needs more directly.
FLR / Application restore from tape would be a feature request and will discuss internally; if you're willing to consider the scripting option, would be happy to discuss it with you.
