The point is not how much effort you need to invest in getting git submodules to eventually or occasionally work. The point is whether vending the subproject as a prebuild library/package is simpler or not, or whether it requires more work or not. And it's abundantly clear that submodules are always inferior to vending packages, not to mention they are audit-friendly.
