I triggered reproducible-builds again:

https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/sagemath.html

Success: 40 tests failed, up to 200 failures are tolerated
Success: 5 tests failed, up to 200 failures are tolerated

so not much changed comparing to two weeks ago and my conclusion still 
holds:
