 * A replacement for contrib/workdir/git-new-workdir that does not
   rely on symbolic links and make sharing of objects and refs safer
   by making the borrowee and borrowers aware of each other.

   Consider this as still an experimental feature; its UI is still
   likely to change.

Did you read "Its UI is still likely to change" ;-)?  It earlier was
parked at "checkout --to", it is parked at "worktree add" today, but
who knows where it will end up.  It would be harmful to say that
here as if we are already encouraging its use.
