* You have to manage a name for each lightweight checkout. What would
  be such name? User-provided? uuidgen-like?

Such a name is interesting as identifier for submodules.
It would be the relative path of the submodule from the supermodule base;
or user supplied.

Lightweight checkouts and submodules have different requirements;
yet, the lightweight checkouts should be so flexible to be
able to be used for submodules checkouts.

Sure, but AAUI, submodules would use light checkouts, but light
checkouts are interesting by themselves, so the naming thing should be
in submodules support.
