The other thing which will be missed a lot (I miss it that much)
is a subproject-recursive git-commit and git-status.

git-status should really point out if a subproject has any changes,

Only if I want it to. HEAD change check (which is cheap enough
to be done unconditionally) can be done always.

But for commit it really does not make any sense.  The commit in the
submodule is totally independent to the commit in the supermodule.

Right. Perhaps not a commit in submodule but a recursive check
for working directory changes in submodules. So that you can
make that you don't make a superproject commit which cannot
be resolved to what you had in all the working directories:

  git commit -a --check-clean-subprojects
