Table with variable-height rows?

Question

How can I achieve variable-height rows on a table?

Specifically, in the MWE below I would like to reduce the heights of rows 2-3 and 9-11, as indicated.

Thanks for any help!

With use of tabularray package with tblr libraries siunitx:

\documentclass[class=scrreprt,fontsize=10pt, border=3mm]{standalone}
\usepackage{tabularray}
\UseTblrLibrary{siunitx}
\begin{document}

Thanks for the comprehensive answer, Zarko. It took me a while to decrypt what's going on there, but switching to tabularray/tblr does solve this problem quite elegantly. Thanks! — dontpanic, Nov 27 '21 at 06:47
