I believe I’ve read here that the defense also did not want Z’s statements all released.

I think I read that too. And that puzzled me.

O'Mara asked for 30 days to review Zimmerman's statements for involuntary confession, which is material that can be suppressed at trial. Otherwise, he had no objection to making Zimmerman's statements public.

The state argued to not allow the statements to be public at all, until trial, because they are planning to show inconsistencies between the statements and the evidence - they claimed that sort of statement amounts to a confession of guilt.

The state lost.

I doubt the inconsistencies amount to spit. The state is attempting to try its case in public, while claiming the opposite.
