Somehow the GitButler workflow works great for me and it is the first VC software that made me drop Magit after a decade of daily use.

I do not use it collaboratively. I use it to continuously ship smaller things while working on bigger pieces and I constantly move independent changes around to different “lanes” to ship frequently as parts of my work mature.

With Magit I used staging area and amended commits continuously. With GitButler I “assign” files or chunks by dragging them into lanes as I am happy with the changes, and when I have a logical unit I commit it. Having this multiple staging areas has been a great workflow improvement as well.
