I am not sure if you meant this as a submodule-specific subcommand
or more general helper.  "into-workingtree" suggests to me that it
is submodule specific, so I'll base my response on that assumption.

Would there ever be a situation where you already have submodule
repositories in the right place (according to the more modern
practice, to keep them in .git/modules/ of superproject) and want to
move them to embed them in worktrees of submodules?  I do not think
of any.

 "Hi, I made a mistake by using submodules. I don't want to use
  them any more, I rather want to:
  A) make it a separate git repo again and I'll keep them in sync myself
  B) ... "

OK, I can buy that.  Thanks.
