I agree with that. Both the ergonomics and the quality of implementation of git submodules are currently atrocious. Special mention if you try to mix them with worktrees. I think there is a small possibility that they will become usable in 10 years, and an even smaller in 5. But for now: don't use git submodule. I did not believed that once, because they kinda look nice on paper. Don't do the same mistake. At least wait 5 years before trying them. And test them appart during at least 6 months, actively each day, before taking a dependency and actually making your project use them.
