> Trying out jj is super low-risk--since it uses git as a backend, you can test it out and bail back to git without any drawbacks other than a detached head state.
Btw, the risk of trying out other modern version control systems is nearly as low: most of them are compatible with git and you can convert back and forth. That definitely includes mercurial etc.

People tried mercurial. They went back to git.
Some did, sure. I made a more limited claim: you can convert back and forth between mercurial and git.
