I haven't used JJ with the git backend so there may be something I'm missing here, but I don't see any reason they wouldn't play nicely. (I use Gerrit daily with pain git). JJ does create commits without you explicitly asking but you do still have direct and fine grained control over it. It's not magic it's just that it's occasionally implicit. And squashing and splitting is nice and easy.
