I use the stash for changes I like or for small experiments, not tied to anything. For any other changes, I just create a wip commit and switch. It’s trivial to switch back and soft reset.

This is easy in jj too, I’ll often try something, jj new @- to try something else, and jj abandon whichever version I don’t end up using.

The nice thing is that all of this is part of the commit graph, not buried in stashes hidden from sight.
