Jj makes this effort vastly easier. Nearly frictionless.

Great. As I said elsewhere on this story, I'll suggest jj to colleagues who struggle with git.

Yeah, I don't get it. Maybe I'm just confused but the git mental model has never struck me as complex or confusing.
jujutsu also seems like a poor fit for large monorepos repos (particularly ones that use git hooks). The expense of certain git operations increases quadratically with the size of the repo. A repo doesn't need to be terribly large for `git status` to require 5-6 seconds. (God bless the man who added scalar and sparse checkout to git.)
The absolute last thing I want is a tool that's doing more with git -- creating commits, branches, checking things out, rebasing, or doing anything that requires a git-status check.
