I definitely agree that some people are too fixated on "not changing history". I've never mentally had any problem with this and do it all the time because I think it makes things much clearer and easier. If you're restricted from ever amending or rebasing, I understand why you hate it.

I'm having a hard time understanding the issues you're having with reset and the workflow. It sounds to me like you just need to do something like "commit 'WIP A'/'WIP B'/'WIP C'" and fixup them as desired. Things like https://github.com/sjurba/rebase-editor make it a lot faster to do this. It wouldn't be too hard to make a small script/alias to do something like "modify commit A with <staged>, stashing the rest, rebase B->C on top of A, unstash", and assuming they aren't touching the same lines significantly, it wouldn't conflict much. But this could be way oversimplifying what you want.
