Current state of Git worktree used with submodules?

Hi,

some time ago Michael wrote in a blog post [1]:
"It's not recommended to use git worktree with a repository that contains submodules."

Plus "Documentation/git-worktree.txt" states:
"Multiple checkout in general is still experimental, and the support
for submodules is incomplete. It is NOT recommended to make multiple
checkouts of a superproject."

I wonder about the current state of this limitation. Is the statement still valid? 
If yes, do you know if someone is working on this? If nobody is working on this, do
you have some pointers for me what the main problems are?

Thank you,
Lars
