The main argument here seems to be that we shouldn’t use LFS because Git will have large file support at some unspecified point in the future? Similarly you could argue that we shouldn't use a Covid vaccine because we'll develop a cure in the future..why vaccinate billions of people when we can just treat the 1% of people who get ill? Clearly that argument doesn't work. People need a solution now. Ironically we had to stop using mercurial because it didn't have an LFS alternative even though I prefer it. LFS is definitely not ideal but as a solution to a real world problem, it works. There may be issues around cloning repos and losing history in the future, but those are one off issues where you have to accept the pain, rather than living in pain every day.
