Comment (by xParham):

 @narenin Thanks for confirming this. I understand the workaround you have
 suggested, but I believe this should be fixed at the core level. The core
 should pick one method for working with `wp_sitemeta` and stick to it
 everywhere.

 Perhaps in `update_metadata()` it can check if `$meta_type === 'site'` and
 then just bail early with a `return update_network_option( $object_id,
 $meta_key, $meta_value );`, and similarly in other `*_metadata()`
 functions. Or the other way, change `update_network_option()` to let
 `update_metadata()` handle the update.
