Thanks, gonna steal using the Linux kernel development as an example regarding this matter. Probably also any huge-scale repo like Google or Windows would work, but Linux is awesome because open source. I'm honestly rather confused on the whole idea of valuing the journey instead of the end result. Aren't commit messages literally the built-in way to write about your journey to your heart's content? And failing that, you probably (should) have a ticket system or the like to preserve even more context in the form of third party comments etc. I usually compare git history to a book: it's not valuable for the end user to see all the tiny edits and errors the author made before the final version, and in the end the important thing is that it tells a good story that the end user can easily follow. Like it's said, the source code is for us humans to read. The computers would do just as fine without the story its trying to tell.
