submodules are cursed. LFS support looks to be coming soon in the form of jj ignoring LFS files and just allowing you to use git-lfs to manage them.

Submodules are cursed, but I like to clone my repos without colocation, but then sometimes find that I need to re-colocate in order to `git submodule update`.
Relatedly, when I use filesystem paths as remotes they need to be colocated or else it doesn't work, which is a little annoying!
Submodules are already that way as well.
Mostly true, but the weird edge case I run into is workspaces. Since they seem to be independent of and not backward compatible with git worktrees, there is no fall back to git for submodules within a workspace.
We still use submodules in a number of places at work so it’s a bit of friction for me. Other than that, I’m rapidly becoming a jj convert.
Ahh, so workspaces don't currently support colocation, aka "put a .git directory in there". So that's what's up there. Interesting corner case! I know upstream is working on it.
