Documenting the limitation is a good place to start.  For normal
users, would it be sufficient to

 (1) tell your colleagues that this repository is currently closed
     and do not push into it;

 (2) configure "git gc --auto" to never kick in;

 (3) delist the repository from "git maintenance" schedule.

before they try this feature out?

I think (2) wouldn't even be needed. Auto-GC only kicks in when there is
a write in the repository, and if both (1) and (3) are true then there
are none. But other than that yes, (1) and (3) should be sufficient.

So it may make sense to document something like that at least?

Thanks.
