Do we respect the .gitattributef and not try to generate the diffstat
for files that are uncompressable?

No, not to my knowledge. Even the "binary" attribute just says "this
file is binary, don't text diff it". I think we will always still do
rewrite-detection for operations like "git status" and the diff summary
of "git commit".
