Hmmm ... while experimenting a bit and after writing a long answer
explaining that I'll come back to it after a while ... I figured out
that I have already implemented a fix, but completely forgot about it.
Hans, does this make sense?

local normalflags = states.get("rsync.flags.normal")
local deleteflags = ""
if (destination:find("texmf$") or destination:find("context$")) and
(not environment.argument("keep")) then
    deleteflags = states.get("rsync.flags.delete")
end
command = format("%s %s %s %s'%s' '%s'", bin, normalflags,
deleteflags, url, archives, destination)

This only adds the --delete flag to texmf-context and texmf, others
are not touched. The consequence is that this won't delete your pdftex
binary automatically if you decide that you only need LuaTeX one day,
but I think that it makes sense as a temporary fix since:
- it prevents deleting font cache
- it reduces the need to recreate the formats when nothing has been updated
