I use `git clean` maybe once per year on average, so very low risk for me. And if that ever happens... that's why I have hourly backup snapshots! If I didn't trust my backups, I'd definitely address that before worrying about dotfile management. If you don't have a good safety net then you end up reinventing the net 100 times in other ways and everything gets more complicated.
