There's `--filter=blob:none` and it allows to automatically fetch blobs when needed.

I wish it was as simple as `git clone <url> --lazy`

I had previously worked on a big tech monorepo that has gigabytes of history. It would take forever to clone or do operations on. I had a cheat sheet of git commands that would do things lazily but I forget them (which is the issue).
