If neither of my upstreams officially supports s390x, should I just drop it
everywhere?

The real question which every packager should ask himself is: Do I have the capacity (time, knowledge, hardware, etc.) to solve problems on non-supported architecture by upstream?

And if the answer is no - it is probably better to drop the arch instead of shipping smth that not even the maintainer knows whether it is usable at all (like I used to ship eclipse on 32 bit arm although I'm quite sure it was not usable at all).
