Is Git not verbose and complicated?

It is like the poster child of it among ALL THE OTHER options in his space!

I was a heavy user of mercurial, I learned it in a day or two, then maybe only had one or 2 major complications for years.

I use git now for 'social' pressure reasons, and despite I use it more heavily than hg, i need to check stuff every week.

And have some bash scripts around to automate how to back out of rebase hell.

You’re like the perfect audience for jj. Give it a try with some of your git repos. If you hate it, easy to go back to git afterwards. But I think you’ll like it.
Ironically the major thing that blocks me is the need for more adoption.

I predict I will have enough of it in the next mess of trying to stack PRs or resolve another rebase of 30 steps.

Not to me.
