I don't see it as extra overhead - it just changes the git one-liner they use to push and pull their issue tracking content by a few characters.

I like the idea of keeping potentially noisy changes out of my main branch history, since I look at that all the time.

You are right. I dug through the document some more. The setup, as mentioned for protected branches [1], should ideally work without much overhead. It does suggest merging back to main, but the FAQ also mentions that the frequency can be decided individually.
