I don't see any contradiction.

Light checkouts would have an almost empty .git (it still needs an
index, and its own head anyway) and use the .git of the main repo for
everything else.

Josef Weidendorfer tried to implement this before, and he concluded that
having a _text file_ .git, instead of a directory, would be a good way
to distinguish .gitlinked checkouts from normal checkouts.

As far as .git/link, that would seem to work better.  As long as there
is a sanity check to make sure that you don't manage to mix things up,
it might be fine.
