Fossil versus Git

I haven’t used Fossil but I have used gittrac, cvstrac in git mode. Cvstrac was what SQLite used before fossil, basically wiki and issue tracker built on top of SQLite, just add CVS, SVN or Git. A very small system compared to Gitea or other forges, but incredibly powerful thanks to SQL and very productive. Fossil is just the logical continuation and shares the same clarity of design and elegant implementation of SQLite.

Can fossil be better than git for a solo personal project or does it add too much stuff on top that's useful once you have a few people working together and it's much simpler to just git commit?

I suspect it will work better, but you have to convince all the other collaborators to also switch, as well as lose tooling in say, Xcode.
