The issue you’d have then is the CI might not be green after the 4th commit but it is after the 5th. A single PR will hide that, so you’d need a way to run the CI on the subset of commits you want to extract. It’s also much easier to isolate those blocking comments on the 5th commit if it’s in its own PR and not mixed with all the review comments on the other ones.

I don’t really see it as diverging much from the underlying git tool TBH - it’s still just git branches pointing at each other.
