ExecuTorch developer here, agreed it's a huge pain to deal with if conditions right now. Part of the pain comes from the vast expressiveness of python on if condition, which causes all ML compiler a lot of headache to be able to capture a sound graph. The rest of the pain comes from the strict requirement of torch.compile itself (no mutation/aliasing behavior in the if branches), which in often times makes torch.cond hard to use or inefficient.
