Jul 31, 2020 at 21:37 comment added OmniaOperator I think the convergence is essentially the same, taking about $N$ terms. My reading of the M-W result is the Mellin transform dies like $O(\exp(-x^{2/3}))$ and Zagier's dies like $O(\exp(-\sqrt x))$ (he uses a degree 4 product, rather than the direct degree 3 symmetric square, so his convergence is marginally slower). Here $x=n/N$.

The method in Zagier's paper use K-bessel function, which speed up the convergence to exponential decay.
Jul 30, 2020 at 18:40 comment added OmniaOperator The method for passing from a functional equation to computing (approximating) values is due to Lavrik. See Appendix B of Henri Cohen's second book (Advanced topics in computational number theory). Also useful is Buhler, Schoen, and Top (Cycles, L-functions and triple products of elliptic curves) who do the symmetric cube, and 4.4 of Martin and Watkins (Symmetric powers of elliptic curve L-functions).
