> having everything squashed into one commit can be annoying if the commit is too large, because it can be hard to identify why a specific change was made via git blame.

True, you can't via git blame. You can however go to the Github pull request, and look at the individual commits there. (If the the squashed commits containthes the PR/issue number.)

i've learned that anything not stored in the repo itself is ephemeral. org decides to leave github? hope you did a good job migrating all that. same goes for issues, wiki, etc.

if it's not in the repo, there's a good chance it wont survive the test of time
