I've had the same experience. I've been using org-mode as my primary note-taking tool for several months now and am getting more comfortable with emacs as a result, but while I can see the appeal of magit, the "spend time learning how emacs git" vs "use the CLI to do what I want in 3 s" hasn't balanced out yet in magit's favor. At some point I'll probably sit down and take like a half day or so to actually learn magit, but git CLI isn't really broken for me so the drive to learn an alternative git tool hasn't been all that strong. Still, magit seems nice, so one of these days I'll probably make the effort.

How often do you guys do really crazy stuff with git? I do some rebasing (interactively and not) and some cherry picking, very rarely do I touch reflog (in which case I do use the CLI).

What kind of race car stuff does git CLI offer that makes you have to go through weird contortions in magit :)?

Well to use magit, first it's "ah, how do I open magit again?" Then it's "crap, now my org-mode buffer has been replaced by magit when I really wanted it in a separate tab but forgot to do the right key combo for that", then 5 minutes of googling "how to go back to previous screen in emacs doom", then remembering it's called a "buffer" That kind of stuff. I still get thrown off a surprising number of time by fat-fingering something and my emacs doing something surprising that I don't understand and am not sure what keys I touched to make it do that, and being unable to go back easily.

So it's really 100% on me for not being an emacs native rather than any shortcoming of magit per se, and as I said at some point I'll probably invest the time, but I _already_ have muscle memory for working in my terminal.
