> scary rebase -i commands that can leave your tree in a half-broken state if you so much as sneeze

Complete bullshit. Might as well say "scary screwdriver that can turn up in your recturm if you so much as sneeze". Sure, I believe that might have happened to you (heard stories from friends that work in the emergency room), but I run rebase -i 10 times during the time I work on each branch (literally: I don't even care to write "proper" commit messages while writing the code, will reorganize and clean them up later anyway), and it never happened to me.

That's just too primitive of a workflow, so repeating it will not run into the risk. You need to add an actual conflict in some feature branch and get stuck being forced to resolve it to compete the rebase to appreciate the op warning
