Rather, I'd say that treeless clones are useful if you want the speed of a shallow clone with some need to analyze commit history (with no path history) for an ephemeral scenario like a CI build. Treeless clones are not a good approach for doing ongoing work as a human. They are a tool for a very narrow case, so don't use them unless you understand how to avoid their pitfalls.
