Hi,
I reorder Ludo’s answers for clarity.

I agree and that’s one strong argument for me.

I agree with this direction. Most of the fetching methods should not be
implemented with “builtin“ but the converse, git-fetch/lfs.
( Even, I think the current git-fetch using out-of-band builtin
recently introduced should be a ’git-fetch/bootstrap’ method, and
git-fetch using in-band should be the default method. )
Cheers,
