I work in a distributed environment. Clients get custom builds with unique integrations. So my time spent is very much benefits the needs to distribute changes.

Git provides every line with a comment about its existence, this is something not provided by other tools, only support it.

I am happy to hear that such fine grained effort is worth it in your context.

In general I think all "best practices" exist because they proved to be useful to some people, enough so that they made the effort to write and talk about it. The issue arise when you see some cool technique that proved useful for Facebook or Google, and an inexperienced team adopt it without reflecting on whether it has the same main pain points than Facebook or Google.

TL:DR it always depends on the context
