Spaces are a pain in the ass when you're using CLI so I'd rather enforce a no space policy

Most shells will behave just fine if you put a quote (single or double) before anything that has a space.

A small extra step but something you get used to if you spend a lot of time in the cli.

Escaping spaces is a pain. I have to do it every day.

I set up symlinks which help navigating around but then the relative paths are wrong for git.

No thanks.

Friends don't let friends put spaces in paths
