Double zipping xlsx files is not necessary. The following override is the minimum needed for the demonstration above. The _prepare_sst_string_data may be omitted when calling $wb->set_optimization().

{  no warnings 'redefine';

   sub Excel::Writer::XLSX::Workbook::_store_workbook {

      my $self     = shift;
      my $tempdir  = File::Temp->newdir( DIR => $self->{_tempdir} );
      my $packager = Excel::Writer::XLSX::Package::Packager->new();

      # Convert the SST strings data structure.
      $self->_prepare_sst_string_data();

      # Package the workbook.
      $packager->_add_workbook( $self );
      $packager->_set_package_dir( $tempdir );
      $packager->_create_package();

      # Free up the Packager object.
      $packager = undef;
   }
}

The time for 60 million cells reduced by 16.5 seconds. Thus, reaching 232k cells per second (2.5x for multi-core).
