On paying for this. When data operations are built around pipelines, it's often easier to re-run the pipeline or restore a snapshot. Which requires a good server, but not a service. So before paying, I'd check why the new tool is better.

Yeah, except that this is not really built into Git. You can't get detailed differences or merge differences in these large files. They are basically opaque blobs as far as Git is concerned.
